A team is having a hard time completing work due to unclear requirements. They have not been able to complete an iteration successfully in several months. In order to help the team, what should the project leader do?
A.
Recommend that the team reviews the length of the iteration with the stakeholders.
B.
Recommend that the product owner reviews the backlog refinement processes.
C.
Recommend limiting the work in progress to improve the team's focus.
D.
Recommend a review of the team members' individual performances.
i chose B but ChatGPT says it's C.
Limiting the work in progress (WIP) is a key principle of Agile and Kanban methodologies. By reducing the number of items the team is actively working on, the team can improve focus, better manage priorities, and increase the likelihood of successfully completing tasks. This approach is particularly beneficial when dealing with unclear requirements, as it allows the team to concentrate efforts on a smaller set of tasks, leading to better understanding and quality of work.
Here the keyword is unclear requirement
D is a not a first step when whole team is not able to understand the requirement.
A, B are useful when there is a problem of overwhelming work
Only C is the correct option, Backlog refinement helps clarify requirements by involving the product owner, stakeholders, and development team.
Given the situation where the team is struggling due to unclear requirements and inability to complete iterations successfully, the most appropriate action for the project leader would be:
B. Recommend that the product owner reviews the backlog refinement processes.
Option C (Limiting work in progress) is generally a good practice in agile to improve focus, but it might not directly solve the problem of unclear requirements unless the overwhelming work in progress is exacerbating the issue.
I cannot understand how could C be the correct answer! The key words in the scenario is about unclear refinements, I would think there needs to be to refine the requirement on the backlog.
