A team is having a hard time completing work due to unclear requirements. They have not been able to complete an iteration successfully in several months.
In order to help the team, what should the project leader do?

Answer options

• A. Recommend that the team reviews the length of the iteration with the stakeholders.
• B. Recommend that the product owner reviews the backlog refinement processes.
• C. Recommend limiting the work in progress to improve the team's focus.
• D. Recommend a review of the team members' individual performances.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the product owner plays a crucial role in managing the backlog and ensuring that requirements are clear. Improving the backlog refinement process will help clarify requirements for the team. The other options focus on different aspects that may not directly address the underlying issue of unclear requirements.
