Whitlock Software's product owner is unavailable for two weeks due to a family emergency. The team is midway through a sprint.
What is the Scrum Master's best action?
- Assume the product owner's role and prioritize the backlog for the next sprint, before confirming the relevant stakeholders agree.
- Facilitate the team's continued work on the current sprint backlog and identify a temporary delegate for urgent queries.
- Cancel the sprint immediately and wait for the product owner to return.
- Tell the team to take two weeks of training until the product owner returns.
