Midway through a two-week sprint, an agile team realizes that the features cannot be delivered within the sprint. The team determines that another week will be required to complete all committed features. What should the team do?
A.
Plan for overtime, and include the effort as part of the estimation
B.
Increase team velocity to deliver more story points
C.
Identify the reason for over-commitment to the sprint and create an action plan for the following sprint
Any incomplete stories will be taken back to PBL, period, Adding new resources is risky and costly, and makes no sense for having timebox. So C is the most appropriate answer.
Understanding Over-commitment: The team should analyze why they over-committed. This could involve looking at estimation errors, unexpected complexities, or unforeseen issues.
Learning and Adapting: By identifying the root cause, the team can adjust their planning and estimation processes to avoid similar issues in the future.
Continuous Improvement: Agile methodologies emphasize learning from each iteration. Creating an action plan for the next sprint ensures that the team continuously improves their processes.
Maintaining Sprint Integrity: Extending the sprint or adding resources can disrupt the rhythm and predictability of the sprint cycle, which is not advisable in agile practices.
Focus on Value Delivery: The team should prioritize delivering the most valuable features and possibly defer less critical ones to future sprints.
The best way is to add resources as you have a commitment with the goal. If you extend a week or more you will no comply with the stakeholders expectations. D
Recap this question, I will go with C. There is not need to add resources
