Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) — Question 17

The CEO asks the Development Team to add a `very important` item to a Sprint that is in progress. What should the Development Team do?

Answer options

• A. Add the item to the current Sprint and drop an item of equal size.
• B. Add the item to the current Sprint without any adjustments.
• C. Inform the Product Owner so he/she can work with the CEO.
• D. Add the item to the next Sprint.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the Development Team should inform the Product Owner, who prioritizes and manages the backlog, allowing for appropriate discussions with the CEO. Options A and B disrupt the current Sprint's commitment and are not aligned with Agile principles, while D delays the item unnecessarily.
