1. What  are  some  examples  of  impediments  or  issues  that  could  be  brought  to   the  SoS  attention?      

2. What  challenges  do  you  foresee  here?    

3. As  a  Scrum  Master,  what  are  you  likely  to  do  in  the  SoS  for  the  POS   Enrollment  App?  

  4. As  a  Produce  Owner,  what  role  do  you  play  in  the  SoS?  

  5. Under  what  circumstances  would  you  need  to  make  use  of  a  SoSoS?
