QuestionQ7

Delivery

Partway through a sprint, a team member discovers that the product design does not comply with the organization's enterprise architecture standards. Because the issue required escalation to the architecture team for further analysis and resolution, the team could not deliver its sprint goal and the sprint was cancelled.

What should the team have done to prevent this?

  • A Escalated the issue to management
  • B Ensured the early engagement of key stakeholders
  • C Provided feedback to the architecture team to change the enterprise architecture standards
  • D Raised an exception for non-adherence to the enterprise architecture standards for this product
Explanation

Enterprise architecture compliance and architecture-team review are product constraints that should be identified and addressed before committing work to a sprint. Early engagement with the architecture team and other key stakeholders exposes these dependencies in time to validate the design, plan the required work, or adjust the scope. Scrum assigns the team responsibility for stakeholder collaboration and recognizes stakeholder collaboration as part of effective product work.
