A Scrum Puzzle

Bob is a scrum master and facilitates the daily scrum, on a daily basis (funny that!) for the 5 team members and one product owner on his team. Each standup takes precisely 15 minutes, because Bob does well at maintaining time boxes, and the team understands the goal of the daily scrum and does well at delaying detailed conversations until the parking lot discussion after the daily scrum.

Team Member 1 (Adam) - Yesterday I worked on Widget A. I submitted a security request and a database request. Since I am waiting on those two requests, I started Widget B and got done with the bamboozle function. I’ll pickup the smacky module for Widget B today….I have no impediments.

Team Member 2 (Betty) - Yesterday I worked on the snarflat module for Widget B, but I can’t find the right certificate authentication muckity-muck, so I reached out to the Active Directory team for guidance. Today I will investigate the muckity-muck stuff some more...I have no impediments.

Team Member 3 (Carlos) - Yesterday I finalized the design for the front end of Widget A. The review board can’t meet until Thursday (2 days away), so I’ll try to get the front end design for Widget B done by then so we can take both designs to the review board. I have no impediments.

Team Member 4 (Dan) - Yesterday I worked with Carlos to make sure the design and controllers all worked well for Widget A. Code review is setup for Friday (3 days away). Today I’ll continue pairing with Carlos on the controller and front end design for Widget B. I have one impediment...I don’t have access to dinglehopper…

Team Member 5 (Ericka) - Yesterday I worked on some research for Widget C. It seems the flux capacitor implementation from 1988 is going to cause integration issues with the hyper-drive module since the flux capacitor is running on MS-DOS. Today I’ll bang my head against a wall trying to figure out what “cd, dir, autoexec.bat and del *.* “ do. Were people in the 80’s drunk when they wrote these operating systems? I have no impediments.

Product Owner (Fiona) - Yesterday I added the acceptance criteria to JIRA for 4 of the 5 stories we refined in our refinement session. I have one more story to finish transferring from the picture of our whiteboard to JIRA. Evidently system maintenance is supposed to happen on the JIRA instance at 10:00 am, and might not be done until around 5, so we will see how THAT goes! I have no impediments.

Question...how many impediments does Bob need to address through the day?
