During the Sprint Retrospective, the newest developer says that his perspective and ideas have been ignored by the rest of the Developers throughout…

The Scrum values of courage, openness, and respect are touched in this situation. Courage means

that the Scrum Team members have the courage to do the right thing and work on tough problems,

and also to speak up when they have concerns or disagreements. Openness means that the Scrum

Team members and stakeholders agree to be open about all the work and the challenges with

performing the work. Respect means that the Scrum Team members respect each other to be

capable, independent people, and also respect the opinions and ideas of others.

In this case, the newest developer showed courage by expressing his feelings during the Sprint

Retrospective, which is an opportunity for the Scrum Team to inspect itself and create a plan for

improvements. The rest of the Developers should have been more open to listening to his

perspective and ideas throughout the Sprint, as they might have valuable insights or suggestions for

improving the product or the process. The Developers should also have respected the newest

developer as a member of the team, and given him a fair chance to contribute and collaborate with

them.
