Your Product Owner has not been available lately. Your VP says "Hey ScrumMaster, I

You are just about start your first Sprint and during the Sprint planning, your
development team says "Hey PO, we need about 3 sprints to build initial framework
and then only we can focus on customer features". PO agrees. What would be your
reaction and why? *

w would ask the PO what value he or she expected to be in receipt of during the
first three sprints, how it would be released, and how ROI would be assessed.
Technically in scrum there is no Sprint 0 which would cover this scenario as like
Waterfall methodology.

It's possible , albeit somewhat unlikely scenario; having said that the incremental
delivery of a framework might be valuable to the PO even without customer features.
