Adding it to the next iteration sounds like a cop-out.

Wait, can she really just instruct them to resize?

I think the team should decide on sizing themselves.

I vaguely recall that resizing stories can lead to issues with trust in the team. So, I guess option B might be the safest choice?

I think we had a practice question about a similar situation where the team needed to come to a consensus. Maybe the Product Owner should facilitate that instead?

I'm not sure if stopping the sizing is a good idea. It feels like it could lead to more confusion later on.

I remember discussing how the Product Owner should empower the team rather than dictate decisions. So, I think option B makes sense.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. I think the best approach would be to go with option B and continue to support the team's decision on sizing. The team knows the work best, and the Product Owner shouldn't override their judgment.

I'd probably suggest option C and have the team stop the sizing and add it to the next iteration as-is. That way, they can focus on other priorities and come back to it with a fresh perspective.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused here. I'm not sure if the Product Owner should be overriding the team's decision or if they should just let the team work it out.

I think I'd lean towards option B and continue to support the team's decision on sizing. The team should have a good understanding of the work involved.

This seems like a tricky one. I'm not sure if I should go with the Product Owner's previous domain expertise or trust the team's decision-making process.

I'm not entirely sure about this one. I'll need to carefully read each option and think it through.

The key here is that Diana and the project team decided to remove the pure risk by changing the project plan. That suggests the answer is C - a pure risk is one that only has a negative side.

The Product Owner was a domain expert, huh? Sounds like they're trying to pull a fast one on the team. Maybe they should just wear a cape and call themselves the 'Sizing Superhero'.

Instruct the Scrum Master to resize the Story? Wow, talk about a power move. Why not just grab the Story Points and run off into the sunset?

The Product Owner should continue to support the team's decision on sizing. They're the experts on the work, and imposing a top-down decision would undermine their autonomy.
