EXIN Agile Scrum Foundation — Question 29

A Scrum team failed to meet the Sprint objectives. One of the key members of the team fell ill and was away for two days right at the beginning of the four week
Sprint.
What is the most likely reason that the team did not meet the Sprint objectives?

Answer options

• A. The Product Owner is unable to prioritize.
• B. The team is lacking skills.
• C. The team did not plan the Sprint effectively.
• D. The team is over-worked.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The most likely reason the team did not achieve the Sprint objectives is that they did not plan the Sprint effectively, particularly considering the absence of a key member at the start. While other options may have their merits, they do not directly address the impact of planning and team dynamics during the initial phase of the Sprint.
