QuestionQ59

Delivery

The project team is ahead of schedule and has started gold-plating the feature included in the current sprint.

What should the agile project manager do?

  • A Since the team has extra time, notify the product owner and secure approval for the extra work on this feature
  • B Encourage the team to document the improvement and prioritize it for the upcoming iteration, instead of building it now
  • C Instruct the Scrum Master to have the team use the extra time to complete the extra feature work in the current iteration
  • D Notify the product owner and have the product owner verify the backlog priority, then encourage team to continue working on the backlog
Explanation

Unrequested enhancements create scope creep and may not deliver the greatest value. Remaining capacity should be directed to approved work in the ordered product backlog after the product owner confirms its priority; the product owner is accountable for ordering backlog items to maximize product value.
