Adaptation

Correct Answer: Advise the team to practice estimation poker in the upcoming sprint to improve accuracy.

The correct answer involves an adaptive approach encouraging the team to use estimation poker, a popular agile estimating and planning technique. This approach promotes team collaboration and consensus on task complexity, thereby improving estimation accuracy. Wrong answers involve forced and unvalidated tactics that do not engage the team in the solution process or reflect a misunderstanding of Scrum values and principles, such as self-organization and empiricism.

Correct Answer: Reevaluate the meeting durations and frequencies according to the Scrum principles to ensure time efficiency.

The correct approach in Scrum is to continually inspect and adapt processes, including meetings, to ensure they are providing value and are time-efficient. Strictly time-boxing meetings without considering their necessity, value, or the potential for adaptation overlooks the principle of continuous improvement. Assigning rotating facilitation roles might distribute responsibility but does not directly address the issue of excessive meetings. While making the Sprint Retrospective longer might seem like a solution, it could contribute to the problem of excessive meeting time if not handled with care, as the extra time might not be focused on discussing and solving the core issue of too many meetings.

Correct Answer: Encourage the Product Owner to revisit and revise the Product Backlog based on the new findings.

In Scrum methodology, when it is found that the work accomplished or planned does not add significant value, it is important to revisit the plan rather than to continue with the current course of action. Therefore the correct answer is: 'Encourage the Product Owner to revisit and revise the Product Backlog based on the new findings.' 'Ask the Development Team to continue with the remaining user stories.' This approach will only produce more work that might not add significant value. 'Reprimand the team for not understanding the Product Owner's vision.' This option is not beneficial nor productive as it is not focusing on the actual issue of value perceived from the user stories. 'Change the Sprint Goal to accommodate more valuable items.' - Although changing the Sprint Goal can have its place in certain circumstances, in this context a more comprehensive revision of the backlog is needed since the problem is not merely about the Sprint Goal, but about the overall value gained from the stories.
