A gradual increase sounds risky. C is safer.

D sounds interesting, but it doesn't really fit Scrum principles.

Wait, can effort really stay the same every Sprint? Seems off.

I feel like D is definitely wrong since cost isn't really tied to effort in that way. I think C is the best choice, but I wish I had more clarity on this topic.

Winifred 3 months ago

I’m a bit confused. I thought sustainable pace could also mean gradually increasing effort, like in A, but that doesn’t seem right for long-term sustainability.

I remember a practice question that talked about team burnout, which makes me lean towards C as well. It just feels like the most balanced option.

Altha 3 months ago

I think sustainable pace means keeping a consistent effort, so maybe it's C? But I'm not entirely sure if that's the right interpretation.

Jade 3 months ago

I vaguely recall that sustainable pace is about balancing effort and productivity. I think option A and B might be misleading, but I’m not sure which one is correct.

Latrice 3 months ago

I practiced a question like this before, and I think sustainable pace is about finding a comfortable rhythm. So, I lean towards option C, but I’m not 100% confident.

Chau 4 months ago

I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like sustainable pace means the team should avoid burnout. Option C sounds familiar, but I could be mixing it up with another concept.

Van 5 months ago

I remember discussing sustainable pace in our last study group, and I think it relates to maintaining a consistent workload. Maybe it's about keeping effort similar across Sprints?
