The Answer Is:
A
This question includes an explanation.
Explanation:
Even if a team is high-performing and stable, the Scrum Master’s role remains valuable in facilitating continuous improvement, removing impediments, and protecting agile principles. However, in mature teams, a Scrum Master can support other teams or initiatives while still offering guidance to the original team.
The PMI Agile Practice Guide (Section 3.3: Agile Roles) and Mike Griffiths’ PMI-ACP Exam Prep Book (Chapter 3: Team Performance) both emphasize that Scrum Masters evolve into more strategic, cross-team roles as teams mature.
Option A is correct: it reflects a strategic redeployment of a seasoned Scrum Master while maintaining light support to the current team.
Option B risks losing agile momentum and undermines continuous improvement.
Option C and D confuse roles—Scrum Master and Product Owner must remain distinct.
