PMP · Question 08 · Task 1: Execute project with the urgency required to deliver business value
An agile team is struggling with 'Carryover'—user stories are frequently not completed within the sprint and spill over to the next. This is affecting the predictability of the release. What is the MOST effective action the project manager (acting as Scrum Master) can take?
Answer options:
Extend the sprint duration to allow the team to finish the work.
Assign the unfinished stories to the most senior developer to complete quickly.
Facilitate a retrospective focused on root cause analysis of the carryover and adjust the Definition of Ready or velocity.
Increase the team's capacity by adding more resources.
