CompTIA Project+ (PK0-005) — Question 106

A developer focused on a single story during an entire sprint. The story was underestimated and, therefore, was not completed. Which of the following steps should the Scrum team take NEXT?

Answer options

• A. Assign more resources to complete similar stories in the future.
• B. Break the stories into workable items that can be completed within one sprint.
• C. Extend the sprint duration when required with the approval of the product owner.
• D. Release the current progress into production and carry over the rest of the code for the next sprint.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because breaking stories into smaller, manageable tasks allows the team to complete them within a single sprint, improving planning and execution. Options A and C do not address the root issue of the story being too large to complete, while D does not align with Scrum principles of completing stories within a sprint.
