For many years I have been involved in projects which are managed by waterfall or V-model frameworks. For a while I am reading about agile methodologies, mainly scrum, and getting opinions about sprints, daily meetings, burndown charts etc. However all the articles I read describe the methodology when everything goes well.
Last week, I was in an interview and not able to answer a bad-case question:
What if you realize that you misunderstood something about your daily work in a daily morning meeting? Or, you find yourself in a situation that you don't know the requirement of your daily work, what would you do?
I could only say; I don't know but I would not burn that day out. Maybe to talk to the scrum master and ask to gather the team again?
What should a scrum developer team member do in such a case?
EDIT:
There are many failure scenarios for scrum masters (motivating the team members, communicating with the customer, failure of sprints etc.), but I could not find failure cases for scrum team members.
You talk to whomever you need to talk to in order to figure out what you should be doing. That might be stakeholder, that might be a member of the team who is an expert on that part of the system, it might be someone else, it might be multiple people.
The daily scrum is an opportunity to get people on the same page. It isn't the only time you are allowed to communicate.
