What should the Scrum Master do?

Agile promotes transparency and ongoing communication with all stakeholders, including legal and compliance teams. According to the PMI Agile Practice Guide (Section 7.1 Communications), one of the Scrum Master ' s responsibilities is to keep stakeholders informed of project progress and projections using tools like burnup/burndown charts, velocity trends, or product roadmaps.

Mike Griffiths in the PMI-ACP Exam Prep Book (Chapter 4: Stakeholder Engagement) emphasizes that sharing the trajectory of progress and scope delivery builds trust and provides clarity to non-technical stakeholders.

Option C is correct: sharing actual progress and trends with legal ensures alignment and transparency.

Option A misplaces the responsibility—it ' s the stakeholders who need visibility.

Option B shifts product decisions prematurely.

Option D assumes satisfaction trumps contractual obligations—this can cause legal issues.
