There is a decision to be made regarding a requirement for which if not handled will hold up the sprint and the product owner is NOT present at the meeting. Should the Scrum Master make a decision on this using her best judgment or wait to discuss with the Product Owner?

Reaching Out To Business Stakeholders, As Mentioned In The Text, Could Be A Viable Temporary Solution In Cases Of Urgent Decisions. However, This Approach Should Be Exercised With Caution And Ideally Pre-agreed Upon With The Product Owner To Ensure It Doesn't Undermine The Po's Authority And The Product Vision's Consistency.
In Such Situations, The Guidance Of A <a Href="https://www.jospostma.com/">product Owner Mentor</a> Could Be Invaluable. A Mentor, With Their Extensive Experience And Insight Into Best Practices, Can Offer Strategies For Effective Stakeholder Engagement While Maintaining The Integrity Of The Scrum Process.

Scrum Master Shouldn't Give This Decision On His Own. The Best Bet For An Enormous Emergency Is: Scrum Master Can Reach Business Stakeholders To Ask For An Agreement They Had Done With The Po Beforehand.
