Question 4

A project's first iteration contains item A, and its second iteration contains item B. The first iteration is behind schedule, which will impact the second iteration.

Since items A and B are similar, a team member suggests beginning the design of item B.

What should the agile practitioner do?

    Correct Answer: A

    In agile practices, the focus should remain on completing the current iteration before starting tasks for the next iteration to avoid spreading the team's attention too thin. By deferring the design of item B until the second iteration is being planned, it ensures that any learnings or dependencies from item A are addressed adequately. This approach minimizes the risk of cascading issues related to the delay of item A and maintains a disciplined and manageable workflow.

Team should remain focussed on current iteration. If item A and B are similar. Then learnings from item A can be applied to item B in next iteration.
