Your network environment includes a Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2012 server. Your development team is using the Microsoft Framework (MSF) for Agile Software Development 6.0 process template. You have a number of user stories logged in TFS 2012.
Several user stories have external dependencies on an application programming interface (API) that is being developed by a third party. The interfaces for the API have already been agreed upon.
You need to recommend how these external dependencies should be handled in your current sprint.
What should you do?
A. Add a resource to represent the third party and assign all the user stories that have dependencies on the API to this new resource.
B. Add an agreed upon amount of effort to every user story that has dependencies on the API.
C. Move all user stories that have dependencies on the API to the next sprint.
D. Create mockups of the API using the agreed upon interfaces. Add user stories for integration testing to the backlog.
