Five new Scrum Teams have been created to build one product. A few of the developers on one of the Scrum Teams ask the Scrum Master how to coordinate their work with the other teams. What should the Scrum Master do?. Teach them that it is their responsibility to work with the other teams to create an integrated increment. Collect the Sprint tasks from the teams at the end of their Sprint Planning and merge that into a consolidated plan for the entire Sprint.
