You are a Product Owner. The Developers are close to the end of a Sprint and ask you for 3 extra days to complete their work. They feel that if they do not get the extra time, they might look bad in front of stakeholders, who are already skeptical of using an agile approach. What should you do? (choose the best answer)
Correct answer:
E
In Scrum, the Sprint timebox is sacred. Extending it undermines the concept of commitment and predictability. Instead, use this as an opportunity to promote transparency and openness by explaining to stakeholders the value of inspecting and adapting based on the current progress. This approach strengthens trust in the Agile process.
