Wait, are we really saying the backlog was that bad?

Not sure if just refining is enough, though.

I think revising the product vision could be relevant, but it seems more like a long-term solution. I wonder if it would really address the immediate issue of overruns.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like creating a definition of ready could help too. It might clarify what needs to be done before items are added to the backlog.

I remember we talked about the importance of refining backlog items in our agile training. I think option D makes the most sense here.

I recall a similar question where we had to decide between refining backlog items and discussing issues with stakeholders. I think option D is definitely the best choice here.

Okay, I think I've got this. First, I'll add up the individual cost components to get the total cost per unit. Then I'll multiply that by 1.4 to get the selling price with the 40% margin. Let me work through the numbers.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. I'll have to think it through carefully before answering.

I'm leaning towards option C since it seems like we covered how message-layer security doesn't inherently block such specific attacks.

Wait, is Maven a source code management tool? I thought it was a build automation tool. I better double-check my understanding before answering this.
