An agile team is working on a 2-week sprint to deliver business value. About 1 week after the sprint starts, the team members do not feel confident about the product increment they are building. They do not want to wait until the end of the sprint and want to validate the product increment with the product owner now.
What should the project manager do to mitigate this risk?

  1. Extend the sprint end date in anticipation of feedback from the product owner that will require extra work.
  2. Schedule an additional interim demo with the product owner.
  3. Address the issue as part of the retrospective.
  4. Ask the team to work overtime toward the end of the sprint to meet the original sprint end date.

Answer(s): B

What should the project manager do?

  1. Request additional funding from the sponsor to obtain a new resource to fill in the gap.
  2. Inform the customer of the impact immediately and prepare for escalation.
  3. Ask the product owner to stretch the delivery team further to complete the final product in the original timeline.
  4. Perform an impact analysis, readjust the schedule as needed, and communicate the changes to the customer.
