[All CASPO-001 Questions]

As the Sprint Planning meeting progresses, the Developers see that the workload is greater than they can handle. Which two are valid actions? (Choose the best two answers)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D, E

The Scrum Guide allows the Sprint Backlog to be adjusted during Sprint Planning if the Developers realize the scope exceeds capacity: 'If the work turns out to be different than they expected, they collaborate with the Product Owner to negotiate the scope of the Sprint Backlog within the Sprint.'

D: Removing or changing items is valid to align with capacity while preserving the Sprint Goal.

E: Informing the Product Owner, starting the Sprint, and monitoring progress reflects collaboration and adaptability, keeping the Sprint on track.

Option A (overtime) contradicts Scrum's sustainable pace principle. Option B (recruiting) isn't feasible mid-planning and disrupts team stability. Option C (canceling) is an extreme measure only the Product Owner can initiate, not the Developers, and only for specific reasons (e.g., Sprint Goal obsolescence). Thus, D and E are valid.
