Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) — Question 122

As the Development Team starts work during the Sprint, it realizes it has selected too much work to finish in the Sprint. What should it do?

Answer options

• A. Inform the Product Owner at the Sprint Review, but prior to the demonstration.
• B. Find another Scrum Team to give the excess work to.
• C. As soon as possible in the Sprint, work with the Product Owner to remove some work or Product Backlog items.
• D. Reduce the definition of ג€Doneג€ and get all of the Product Backlog items ג€Doneג€ by the new definition.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the Development Team should address the issue early in the Sprint by discussing with the Product Owner to adjust the backlog. Option A is too late in the process, while B is not feasible as it disrupts team cohesion. Option D compromises the quality of work by altering the definition of 'Done'.
