Support costs might have been overlooked too, but I doubt that's the main reason.

Really? I’m surprised they didn’t catch those underestimations earlier.

I think it could also be due to the product owner pushing for more output.

Totally agree, that jump makes sense if they found underestimations.

Looks like they reestimated some stories.

Option A seems unlikely to me; I thought we focused more on the team's output rather than support costs in our last review.

I feel like the jump could be due to underestimating stories, but I can't recall if that was specifically mentioned in our study materials.

I’m not entirely sure, but I think we covered something about improving previously accepted work in our practice questions, which might relate to option B.

I remember discussing how re-estimating stories can impact velocity, so option C seems plausible.

I'm not entirely sure about this one. I'll make my best guess, but I may need to come back to it if I have time at the end of the exam.

I'm a bit confused here. The question mentions a capacity of 50,000 users, but 30,000 users with 3 clients each is 90,000 clients. Should we just increase the capacity to match the number of clients?

I recall something about avoiding non-scientifically validated procedures, but I'm uncertain if that's the key focus here.

The 403 Forbidden error is a clear sign of permission restrictions. I'm going with Option A without hesitation.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused. Do I need to manually request the certificate from the CA server, or is there an automated process? I'll have to double-check the documentation.
