Question

Options

• AAllow the team to add the improvement to the current iteration after considering the risk.
• BReview project integration management to determine which iteration should have the improvement added.
• CAnalyze the project schedule to determine which iteration should have the improvement added.
• DRequest the team to add it to the next iteration as the risk must be properly assessed.

• A
  73% (30)
• B
  7% (3)
• C
  2% (1)
• D
  17% (7)

Explanation

In agile, the development team owns technical decisions. When the team identifies a risk that requires immediate architectural work, the product owner should defer to the team's expertise on the 'how' of delivery and allow the improvement (A) after weighing the stated risk. Reviewing project integration management (B) or analyzing the schedule (C) are heavyweight, non-agile responses to a technical judgment call. Deferring to the next iteration (D) ignores the risk the team has identified, which could compound problems. Agile principles emphasize trust in self-organizing teams for technical matters.
