Stopping Scrum altogether feels wrong. I mean, we should still be able to work on what we can, right? But I'm not sure about the 'hardening sprint' part.

I think we practiced a question similar to this, and the answer was about addressing impediments directly. So, option B might be the best choice.

I'm not entirely sure, but canceling the Sprint seems too drastic. I feel like there should be a better way to handle it.

Encrypted emails might be the safest option, but I'm not sure if that's the most efficient way for the teams to communicate and coordinate.

Okay, let's see. The key here is that the sales team is noticing a longer time to close new opportunities. So I think the dashboard of opportunity stage duration would be really helpful to pinpoint where the delays are happening. And the month-over-month lead conversion trends could also provide some useful insights.

Personally, I'd go with B. Raising it to the Scrum Master is the best way to get help resolving the issue. Plus, it gives me an excuse to slack off and let the Scrum Master handle it. Win-win!
