PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 52

Midway through a two-week sprint, an agile team realizes that the features cannot be delivered within the sprint. The team determines that another week will be required to complete all committed features.
What should the team do?

Answer options

• A. Plan for overtime, and include the effort as part of the estimation
• B. Increase team velocity to deliver more story points
• C. Identify the reason for over-commitment to the sprint and create an action plan for the following sprint
• D. Add resources to assist with sprint execution

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the team needs to analyze why they over-committed and address it to prevent future occurrences. Options A and D do not solve the underlying issue and may lead to burnout or inefficiencies. Option B is unrealistic as it is not possible to artificially increase velocity without compromising quality.
