Marian is the Product Owner envisioning a project for a new release of her product. She made a projection of a release date based upon a sustained velocity of 17 completed units of work per Sprint.

Marian is the Product Owner envisioning a project for a new release of her product. She made a projection of a release date based upon a sustained velocity of 17 completed units of work per Sprint. Over the first 3 Sprints, the average velocity was 13 for work that the Development Team estimated as 90% done. The
Development Teams, feeling the need to meet the plan, figured that a velocity of 17 was within their reach.
A good way to continue is:
A. The Development Team makes sure that all of the selected scope per Sprint is as "Done" as possible. The undone work is estimated and added to the Sprint
Backlog of the next Sprint, so it doesn’t mess up the Product Backlog.
B. Add enough people to the Development Team for the deadline to be made.
C. The opportunity to inspect and adapt is lost. Opaqueness has replaced transparency. Predictability has dropped below zero. The produced software is not usable. As the rules of Scrum have not been respected, it is the Scrum Master’sduty to assess whether repair is possible, or a restart with a more reliable team. If not, the Scrum Master should cancel the project.
D. The Development Team should remind Marian to find funding for enough Release Sprints in which the remaining work can be done.

  1. This question is worded so poorly and with incorrect information. Skip it. Erase it from your mind. There is no correct answer.

  2. A could have been right choice if pending work was reestimated and added back to Product backlog. Only problem with this answer is that undone work is added to next sprint backlog which is not right. As per scrum guide any remaining work is estimated and goes back to Product backlog so that Product owner along with team can decide what are the priority items to be picked for next sprint
    B – Clear that its a bad answer
    C – Scrum master cant cancel a sprint hence out of question
    D – There is no concept of release sprint in agile as per scrum guide but in a way it make sense that Dev team being a self organized team along with scrum master educate Product owner but catch here is coaching for such things is done mainly by Scrum master so its also little confusing

    Hence its difficult to conclude a right answer for this question. My view question is not framed correctly.

  3. The ONLY remotely acceptable answer here is D – but even so, it’s not the correct answer anyway as explained by Sukha.

    A) NO, just no, you don’t re-estimate and place back into the SPRINT backlog. You re-estimate and place back into the PRODUCT backlog. The PO will then decide what to do with the items. Not mess up the product backlog? I can’t imagine any-one actually choosing this one as a good answer
    B) Right – lol. Again contrary to guidelines
    C) Restart with a more reliable team?? Scrum Master cancels the project??? Again, a nonsence answer. It is not the problem of either the development team or the scrum master if the product owner has been overly optimistic in predicting velocity
    D) ‘Release Sprints’ don’t exist….. but if this is the only choice of answers (which I highly doubt), this is the only one that remotely makes sense

    I will agree with Sukha : there should have been another answer proposed, which is the correct one :
    “The Development Team informs Marian that the progress she has perceived to date is not correct. The Increment is not releasable. They give Marian their estimate of the effort it would take to get the past work “Done,” and suggest doing that work first before proceeding with new features. In the end, it is Marian’s call to continue the project or to cancel.”

  4. Sukha, no. PO may cancel the sprint but doesn’t have authority to cancel the project.

    1. Wrong- Sprints can be considered projects:
      2020 Scrum guide- “Shorter Sprints can be employed to generate more learning cycles and limit risk of cost and effort to a smaller time frame. Each Sprint may be considered a short project.”

      Hence Sukha’s answer is correct

  5. “The Development Team informs Marian that the progress she has perceived to date is not correct. The Increment is not releasable. They give Marian their estimate of the effort it would take to get the past work “Done,” and suggest doing that work first before proceeding with new features. In the end, it is Marian’s call to continue the project or to cancel.”

    This is the right answer to this question.
    Unfortunately this option has not been given with the other answers !?!
