The CEO asks the Development Team to add a “very important” item to a Sprint that is in progress. What should the Development Team do?

The correct answer is C, because the Development Team should inform the Product Owner so he/she

can work with the CEO. The Scrum Guide states that “only the Product Owner has the authority to

cancel the Sprint, although he or she may do so under influence from the stakeholders, the

Development Team, or the Scrum Master.” Therefore, if the CEO wants to add a “very important”

item to a Sprint that is in progress, he or she should communicate with the Product Owner, who can

then decide whether to cancel or continue the current Sprint.
