Starting the Sprint and recruiting more members sounds risky. It could disrupt the team dynamics, right?

I'm not entirely sure, but canceling the Sprint feels too drastic. I feel like there should be a way to adjust the scope instead.

I think we practiced a question like this where collaborating with the Product Owner was the best choice. It makes sense to adjust the workload.

I remember discussing how working overtime isn't sustainable for the team, so that option seems wrong.

Recruiting additional team members could work, but that might be difficult to pull off in the middle of a Sprint. I think the best bet is to work with the Product Owner to adjust the scope.

Canceling the Sprint seems a bit drastic. I'd want to exhaust other options first before going that route. Definitely need to work closely with the Product Owner on this one.

This is a tricky one, but I think collaborating with the Product Owner to potentially remove or change items is the best approach. We need to be realistic about what the team can accomplish.

Working overtime? What is this, the 80s? I'd rather just ditch the Sprint and go home. Oh wait, Option B makes the most sense. My bad.

Option D - recruit additional team members? Seriously? That's like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. Option B is the clear winner here.

Hold up, who said anything about overtime? I'm pretty sure my contract doesn't include mandatory overtime. Option B it is!
