Team should be self-organized. So even if someone needs to communicate the issue with marketing department (D), that has to be initiated by the team.

It's a few months behind schedule, that's pretty significant, and MKT does not know about this delay. I vote for D., I think it's most important to communicate the actualized delay.

That would be correct it the question would be "What Product Owner should do"

yes, the first step is to communicate with marketing department about the delay, otherwise, once the release is announced but nothing to deliver. the second step is to discuss with team member how to improve in retrospective so C is not the first thing to tackle the immediate issue

Selected Answer: C
Product Owner is the one who communicates to the Customer, not Agile Coach. The question states what Agile Couch to do. Agile Coach will work with the team so the answer C. However, this Agile Coach to inform Product Owner about the delay and this is within PO responsibility to handle this with the Customer. The answer D is correct from the Product Owner perspective only. I vote C.

C - correct. I agree with the explanation that Agile coach is not responsible for informing stakeholders. That's Product owner's job.

I think Answer should be "C" regardless of the situation. Corrective actions on an agile team is discussed during the retrospective which is related to agile. Communicating with marketing team etc is not relevant here as I see.

..release is in a few months means: it will be carried out in the coming iterations, so there will be at least one retrospect in between, allowing the team to discuss the issue. Keyword UNAWARE - solution = find ways to improve information sharing: C.

Selected Answer: D
D. Meet with the marketing stakeholders to explain that the team will miss the planned release date. The agile coach should communicate the delay to the marketing department to manage their expectations and avoid false promises or disappointments. The team should also work on improving their velocity and finding ways to get back on track, but communicating the delay to stakeholders is crucial.
