1.	You are pushing for an important user story to be selected for the next sprint. Unfortunately, the final designs are missing — but the designers promise to deliver no more than two days in to the sprint. The Scrum Master, however, rejects the story because the ‘Definition of Ready’ has not been achieved. What can you do?
Answer» Technically speaking, SCRUM master is correct and this user STORY is not a candidate for the current sprint. So your first response should be to see if you can move this story to the next spring and work with the designer to not delay from next time onwards. But SUPPOSE, the final designs will be easy to understand and will be in line with the scope of work agreed with the team then you can discuss with team and Scrum master to complete the remaining tasks with in the story in first 2 days by that time, designs will be ready and they can continue. So finally, It boils down to being Agile, adapting with the given situation while making sure that Agile PRINCIPLES are not diluted and team is not pressured into doing something they did not sign up for. Even, the final DECISION will lie with the Scrum team and not with the Product owner.
