Wait, two days? That seems like a huge impact for just one person!

I disagree, over-worked teams can’t focus on priorities.

The over-worked option seems plausible, but I wonder if the illness was the main factor affecting their performance.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think the most likely reason is that they didn't plan the Sprint effectively.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like if the team was lacking skills, they might struggle regardless of the member's absence.

I remember discussing how a key member's absence can really impact the team's ability to meet objectives, so I think it might be related to planning.

I'm leaning towards C as well. When you lose a critical team member like that, especially at the start, it's going to require some serious re-planning to get back on track. The team must not have been prepared for that kind of disruption.

The team being over-worked seems like a possible reason, but I'm not sure that's the most likely one here. With a key member out, I think the planning issue is probably the bigger factor.

I'm a bit confused on this one. Could it be that the team is lacking skills? If they were missing a key skillset with that team member out, that could have really impacted their ability to get the work done.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'm thinking it might be the team not planning the Sprint effectively, since the loss of a key member right at the start could have really thrown off their plans.

I'm pretty confident the answer is C - the team did not plan the Sprint effectively. Losing a key member right at the start is a major disruption, so they must not have accounted for that properly in their planning.

But what if the team is over-worked? Maybe they couldn't handle the workload without that key member.

D) The team is over-worked. Losing a key member for two days in a four-week Sprint is bound to take a toll, even on the most dedicated team.

I agree with Sherell. If they had a key member missing at the beginning, they should have adjusted their plan.

I bet the team member who fell ill was the one who always brings the doughnuts. No wonder they couldn't focus!
