Question #: 73
Topic #: 3

As the Development Team starts work during the Sprint, it realizes it has selected too much work to finish in the Sprint. What should it do?

AInform the Product Owner at the Sprint Review, but prior to the demonstration.

BFind another Scrum Team to give the excess work to.

CAs soon as possible in the Sprint, work with the Product Owner to remove some work or Product Backlog items.

DReduce the definition of ''Done'' and get all of the Product Backlog items ''Done'' by the new definition.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A, B

According to the Scrum Guide, two characteristics of the Daily Scrum are its location and time remain constant and its purpose is to inspect progress toward the Sprint Goal and adapt the Sprint Backlog. These characteristics promote consistency, transparency, and adaptation within the Development Team. The other options are not valid characteristics of the Daily Scrum, as they are either irrelevant (such as being held first thing in the morning) or inappropriate (such as being free form, facilitated by the team lead, or consisting of the Scrum Master asking for status).

I think the team should have planned better in the first place. But hey, at least they're not trying to just power through and deliver subpar work. Option C is the way to go.

Trying to deliver subpar work is never a good idea. The team should definitely collaborate with the Product Owner to make necessary adjustments.

Agreed, communication with the Product Owner is key. It's better to address the issue early on in the Sprint.

Option B is like trying to pass the buck. That's not how Scrum works. The team has to own up to their commitments and work with the Product Owner to adjust the scope accordingly.

Haha, option D is a classic 'work smarter, not harder' approach. Reducing the definition of 'Done' to get everything done? Not the most sustainable solution, but I'll give them points for creativity!

I agree with Maynard. The team shouldn't try to hide the issue or pass it on to another team. Being transparent and collaborating with the Product Owner is the best way to manage the situation.

Option C seems to be the most appropriate course of action. The team should work with the Product Owner to remove some work or Product Backlog items as soon as possible in the Sprint.
