Background The Plants versus Zombies (PvZ) Team with Corporate Services is in the midst of an Agile/Scrum transformation that began two months ago. During the transformation, all team members were introduced Agile and Scrum principles. The team has been using all the Scrum rituals to include sprint planning, daily stand-ups, sprint reviews and retrospectives. The transformation has not gone well so far, mainly because the team has not had a full-time Scrum Master (the team's Product Owner has been acting in both roles and has prioritized the PO (Product Owner) role and related responsibilities over the Scrum Master role). You have been hired to be the new, full-time Scrum Master and begin work immediately. The PvZ has just wrapped up its last sprint. During that sprint, the team had a lot of issues - priority stories were not delivered, requirements changed during the sprint, and the development team refused to demo any of the work they had completed. The development team remains unconvinced about using Agile and Scrum methodologies. They want to focus solely on expansion tasks and do not want to track their progress. The Full Stack Developer on the team ended the meeting by stating that the Product Owner did not value their perspective. Question:

As scrum master, how would you approach this situation? What strategies would you use to defuse the and facilitate a potential solution to this conflict? Please also list any assumptions you have make.
