A high-profile project team is struggling to meet planned velocity. During a retrospective, the team agreed that their lack of experience in the technology resulted in an excess of rework.
What should be done to resolve this challenge?
A.
Increase the duration of iterations to minimize the frequency of priority changes that are distracting the team.
B.
Reduce the duration of iterations so that the product owner can reprioritize work to ensure business value alignment.
C.
Increase the level of effort in testing to ensure that all defects are identified and properly documented so they can be resolved before the end of the iteration.
D.
Implement a spike to enhance creativity by experimenting with new techniques and process ideas in order to discover more efficient and effective ways of working.
This approach allows the team to dedicate time to learning and experimenting with the new technology, which can help them overcome their lack of experience and reduce rework in future iterations.
Detailed Points:
Focused Learning: A spike provides a time-boxed opportunity for the team to focus on learning and experimenting with the new technology.
Problem Solving: Helps the team identify and resolve specific technical challenges that are causing rework.
Innovation: Encourages creativity and the discovery of more efficient and effective ways of working.
Reduced Rework: By gaining a better understanding of the technology, the team can reduce the amount of rework required in future iterations.
Improved Velocity: As the team becomes more proficient with the technology, their ability to meet planned velocity is likely to improve.
A. Increasing the duration of iterations would not necessarily solve the team's problem related to a lack of technical experience. Agile promotes shorter iterations to foster quick feedback and adaptability.
B. Shorter iterations alone will not resolve the team's lack of experience with the technology, which is causing the rework. Reprioritization may help focus on the most valuable features, but it won’t address the root cause of technical challenges.
C. While increased testing can help catch defects, the core issue is the team’s lack of technical expertise. Testing doesn’t solve the fundamental problem of rework due to technical gaps.
D is best.
B: from the point of risk management, create right deliverable, this is good option but story said lack of experience in the technology. In case solution should be SPIKE.
