Selected Answer: D
The best answer here is D. The team should reevaluate time and cost estimates to reflect the latest understanding of the work effort. Here's why: Addressing Inaccurate Estimates: The team member's observation points to a potential issue with the initial estimates. Re-evaluating them is crucial to ensure future estimates are more accurate and realistic. Learning from Experience: Agile methodologies encourage continuous improvement. By analyzing why estimates were off, the team can identify areas for improvement in their estimation process. Improving Velocity: Accurate estimates are essential for maintaining a consistent velocity and delivering value predictably.

Why the other options are less ideal: A. The product owner should reduce the scope of the project so that the items delivering the highest business value can be completed: While reducing scope might be necessary in some cases, it's not the primary solution. The focus should be on improving the estimation process to ensure accurate planning. B. The team should perform a spike to conduct research on their technical solutions and prove their viability: Spikes are useful for exploring technical unknowns, but they don't directly address the issue of inaccurate estimates. C. The team should consolidate small stories into larger ones so that there are less work items to be estimated: Consolidating stories might make estimation easier, but it can also make it harder to track progress and adapt to changes.
