Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: Whether the task is too large, has hidden dependencies, or the team member is blocked — then take appropriate action to resolve

Explanation

A task stuck 'In Progress' for multiple days signals a potential problem: the task may be larger than estimated (needs splitting), there may be hidden dependencies (blocked waiting on someone else), the team member may be struggling (needs technical help or pairing), or an impediment has emerged. The Scrum Master investigates the specific cause and facilitates the appropriate response to restore flow.
