Release Plan

Correct Answer: Defer the affected feature until the bug is fixed and create a new release plan

The correct action is to defer the affected feature until the bug is fixed and create a new release plan. This ensures the released product is of high quality and addresses the issue in a controlled manner.

Correct Answer: Discuss the bottleneck with the whole team and stakeholders and collaboratively decide how to adjust the release plan

The best approach when facing a significant technical bottleneck in an Agile team is to discuss the bottleneck with the whole team and stakeholders and collaboratively decide how to adjust the release plan. This approach respects the Agile principle of maintaining regular and open communication with stakeholders, and harnesses the collective wisdom and skills of the team. Ignoring the problem, as suggested in one of the answers, is unlikely to lead to it being resolved and can lead to bigger issues further down the line. Delegating the problem to a single team member, as suggested in another answer, not only shirks shared responsibility but also means the team may miss out on important insights from other members. Finally, excluding the corresponding features from the plan without consulting stakeholders, as suggested in the final answer, can undermine trust and relationships with stakeholders and may not address the underlying bottleneck.

Correct Answer: Review the release plan and consider releasing the product early, if feasible

By reviewing the release plan and considering an early release, the project can be completed more efficiently, ensuring customer satisfaction without compromising quality.
