Q7. - (Topic 3) 

Your development team uses Scrum as its process framework. 

The business communicates a significant change in direction. The current sprint may become obsolete due to the changes. 

You need to determine whether the current sprint should be canceled. 

Under what circumstances should you cancel the current sprint? 

A. Team members are not able to complete the tasks that were committed to for the sprint. 

B. Major changes to have doubled the required time to complete the tasks. 

C. Impediments cause the tasks to not be completed within the sprint. 

D. The sprint goal becomes obsolete. 

Answer:

Explanation: Canceling a Sprint Rarely does a Sprint need to be canceled, but it does happen. If a Sprint’s forecasted work becomes irrelevant, then there is no reason to continue developing it. This can occur if the product or organization needs to change direction immediately due to a technology or market reason. Only the Product Owner has the authority to cancel a Sprint. He or she may do so under the advisement of others, including stakeholders, the Development Team, or the Scrum Master. Canceled Sprints require the Scrum Team to collaborate and decide if any done work is acceptable and potentially releasable. The Scrum Team should also re-estimate any undone work, returning it to the Product Backlog. The work done on partially completed PBIs depreciates quickly and may not have any value in the future. Needless to say, canceling a Sprint will generate waste.
