EXIN Agile Scrum Foundation — Question 26

Near the end of a Sprint, the team realizes that they will not be able to complete the stories they had committed to.
What is the best course of action for the team?

Answer options

• A. Add resources and team members to meet the goals of the current Sprint.
• B. Ask the Product Owner to decide which stories can be delayed until the next Sprint.
• C. Decide on a new definition of 'done' for the Sprint Backlog Items.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The best course of action is for the team to ask the Product Owner to determine which stories can be delayed until the next Sprint, as this allows for proper prioritization and ensures that the team can focus on completing high-value work. Adding resources (Option A) may not guarantee completion and could lead to further complications, while changing the definition of 'done' (Option C) could lead to misunderstandings and lack of clarity regarding the Sprint goals.
