Discuss ScrumStudy SMC Exam Topic 1 Question 37

Suppose you are a Scrum Master on a project to design a metro rail system for a city. It has been brought to

your attention that the Product Owner wants to change the Acceptance Criteria for one of the User Stories

committed to for the current Sprint because the customer has changed a critical business requirement. Which

one of the following statements presents the best solution for such a situation?

AYou should direct the Scrum team to stop working on the current Sprint Backlog, and to start working on
the latest business requirements.

BThe Product Owner should add this requirement to the overall Prioritized Product Backlog, and the team
would work on it in a future Sprint.

CYou should tell the Product Owner to inform the stakeholders that this business requirement cannot be
worked on as the Scrum Team has no bandwidth in the current Sprint.

DThe Product Owner should cancel the current Sprint, and should start planning a new Sprint for the team to
be able to develop the deliverable as per the latest business requirement.

C is too rigid. Flexibility is key in Scrum!

Option D sounds extreme. Cancelling a Sprint? Not a fan.

Wait, can they really just change the criteria mid-Sprint? Seems risky.

Totally agree with B! No need to disrupt the current Sprint.

I think option B makes the most sense. Just add it to the backlog.

I recall that canceling a Sprint is a big deal and should only be done in extreme cases. I lean towards option B, but I'm not completely confident.

I practiced a similar question, and I think stopping the current work is not ideal. It might be better to add it to the backlog for future consideration.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like the Product Owner should prioritize the new requirement for the next Sprint instead of disrupting the current one.

I remember discussing how changing the Acceptance Criteria mid-Sprint can be tricky. I think the best approach is to keep the current Sprint focused.

Ah, I see now. The "showperc=f" is telling it not to display the percentage, so option D is incorrect. I'm pretty confident the answer is B.

I'm a little confused by this question. The images don't seem to match the options very well. I'll need to re-read the question and options a few times to make sure I understand what's being asked.

Okay, let's see. The network port has a MTU of 1514 bytes, and we're asked about the maximum service MTU of a VPLS using that port. I think I can figure this out.

I remember studying a question similar to this, and the emphasis was on encryption to protect sensitive data. I feel like the answer might be true.
