Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 142

During a retrospective, the team finds that all of the user stories are not complete. What should be done with the incomplete user stories?

Answer options

• A. Advance these user stories to the top of the next sprint backlog.
• B. Remove these user stories as they are not important.
• C. Move these user stories back to the product backlog for reprioritization.
• D. Complete these user stories in the current sprint and extend the sprint length.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct action is to move the incomplete user stories back to the product backlog for reprioritization, as this allows for a reevaluation of their importance and ensures that the team can focus on completing the most valuable work. Advancing them to the next sprint or extending the current sprint would not address the underlying issues, while removing them entirely could lead to important features being overlooked.
