[All DASM Questions]

A team has completed the work in their Aeration backlog earlier than expected. There is still three days left of the iteration, what should the team do now?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

When a team completes their iteration backlog earlier than expected, the recommended approach in Disciplined Agile is to collaborate with the product owner to pull additional work from the product backlog into the iteration backlog. This approach maintains momentum and ensures that the team continues delivering value without waiting for the next iteration. It promotes agility and maximizes productivity by utilizing any remaining time effectively.

A . Working on non-critical tasks or D. waiting for other groups are not effective uses of the team's time and do not align with agile principles of continuous value delivery.

C . Reporting differences in completion time helps with future planning but does not address the immediate need to continue productive work.

Thus, the correct answer is B. Work with the product owner to pull more work from the product backlog into their iteration backlog.

Hold up, option D? Wait for the other groups? What is this, a group project in school? That's a terrible idea. The team should definitely keep working.
