[All PSM-I Questions]

The CEO asks the Development Team to add a ''very important'' item to a Sprint that is in progress. What should the Development Team do?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The correct answer is C, because the Development Team should inform the Product Owner so he/she can work with the CEO. The Scrum Guide states that ''only the Product Owner has the authority to cancel the Sprint, although he or she may do so under influence from the stakeholders, the Development Team, or the Scrum Master.'' Therefore, if the CEO wants to add a ''very important'' item to a Sprint that is in progress, he or she should communicate with the Product Owner, who can then decide whether to cancel or continue the current Sprint.

I remember a practice question where we had to decide if we should drop an item to add a new one. I think that was option A, but it feels risky.

I'd go with A. Dropping an item of equal size seems like the most straightforward solution to get the new item in.

Adding the item without any adjustments seems risky. We should try to find a way to fit it in without dropping other important work.

C) Inform the Product Owner so he/she can work with the CEO. That's the diplomatic way to handle the CEO's request. Plus, it avoids a potential WWE-style smackdown in the office.
