PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 224

A project team is currently working on sprint seven of a release that is estimated to require twelve sprints to complete. The team has reviewed the stories for this sprint and discovered that it will require rework from previous sprints.

What should the scrum master do?

Answer options

• A. Ask the product owner to revisit the scope of the release and revise it so that the team can keep the current commitment schedule.
• B. Ask the team to find a workaround so that they can continue with the current project management plan.
• C. Advise the team to continue working on the sprints as the release plan has been set.
• D. Ask the team to estimate the amount of rework needed so that adjustments can be made to both the project and release plan.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because it allows the team to assess the impact of rework on their timeline and make necessary adjustments. Options A, B, and C do not address the underlying issue of rework effectively; they either ignore it or force the team to adhere to an unadjusted schedule, which may lead to further complications.
