Question
Since the last iteration, the team has grown from six members to 14 members. As a result, in the current iteration, the team room is crowded and uncomfortable during the team's daily standup. It takes the team longer than the ideal amount of time to complete their standup, which creates problems for the team's current schedule. Based on this information, the project manager should:
Options
- BIncrease the standup duration and update the team's calendars.
- CAssign each team member a maximum speaking time for future standups.
- DSplit the team into sub teams and have them schedule separate standups.

Explanation
The answer given is B - formally increase the standup duration and update calendars to reflect the larger team's needs. The rationale is that a team that has more than doubled in size realistically requires more time. That said, option D (splitting into sub-teams with separate standups) is widely considered the more Agile-aligned response: Scrum recommends team sizes of 5-9 members, and large teams reduce communication efficiency. If this question appears on an exam, B is the keyed answer, but D reflects best Agile practice for teams beyond recommended size.
