After completing the release plan, the team realizes that the project is very likely to have a negative ROI.
What should the team do?
When the team realizes that a project is very likely to have a negative ROI, the most appropriate action is to communicate this risk to the stakeholders and update the release plan accordingly. This ensures that stakeholders are aware of the potential financial impact and can make informed decisions regarding the project's future. Prioritizing the backlog or performing a root-cause analysis are useful actions but do not address the immediate need to inform stakeholders about significant financial risks.
I would go for C.
Why not A?
I guess that internal actions like removing low-priority stories does not guarantee that ROI would be positive.
the question is asking what 'the team' do. since prioritisation should be done by product owner instead of the team, so go D
"the team" in agile includes development team, agile practitioner and product owner. Answer should be A
A is talking about prioritizing back log. Which will any case should happen. Doesn't look like this issue is related to user stories/ back log prioritization. This is about waste. And it is important to identify and remove waste to improve ROI. So I would go for C.
D makes sense to me.
i vote C
I believe C is the correct answer: Please note that the question is talking about the TEAM and not just the DEVELOPMENT TEAM. The team includes everyone. C. Perform a root-cause analysis to remove waste from the delivery process and increase the ROI: Why the team thinks the project will not have a positive ROI? That is the question the team needs to ask and figure out the root cause for the project not being successful. There could be many reasons, for instance: The project itself may not bring in any value to the organization, or too many unnecessary features have been added to the project and etc...The team needs to find out the problem and figure out the solutions to propose to the stakeholders before anything (like; reaching out to the stakeholders and re-prioritizing the backlog).
Why D cannot be the correct answer: D. Communicate the risk of a negative ROI to the stakeholders, and update the release plan: Definitely, you want to update the stakeholders, but before you do that, you need to have answers for all the questions the stakeholders will ask. The stakeholders will definitely ask the team about why the team thinks the project is not feasible. Therefore, before we reach out to the stakeholders, we need to do an analysis collaboratively and then reach out to the stakeholders with the problem and the solution to the problem.
Waste needs to be reduced to improve ROI. Hence C.
A is the best answer
I think D should be the right answer. The stakeholders need to be informed of the risk of a negative ROI
A - wrong. The team does not prioritize the backlog, the PO does. B/D - wrong. C - correct. Could be conducted a Fishbone analysis, for example.
Vote C
D. Communicate the risk of a negative ROI to the stakeholders, and update the release plan. If the team realizes that the project is likely to have a negative ROI, it is important to communicate this risk to the stakeholders. This will allow them to make informed decisions on whether to proceed with the project or make changes to the release plan to ensure a positive ROI. The team should work with the stakeholders to update the release plan and ensure that any changes made align with the project's goals and objectives. Prioritizing the backlog, replacing team members, or performing a root-cause analysis may not necessarily address the issue of a negative ROI and could result in additional risks and issues.
Negative ROI requires a Root Cause Analysis to determine the factors driving down the ROI
C is correct A is wrong since the team has no authority to prioritise the product backlog
vote D
D. For C, we remove waste by Value Stream Management not root cause analysis.
Alao, Why are we sure that there is a waste?
