Which of the following would you NOT do?

B. Encourage the team to identify technical risks early
C. Remind the team to plan how selected work will be done
D. Help the team break large stories into smaller tasks

✅ Correct Answer: A. Push the team to commit to all high-priority items

🔍 Explanation:
A. Push the team to commit to all high-priority items
❌ NOT recommended – Correct answer.
In Scrum, the Development Team decides how much work it can commit to. Forcing or pressuring the team to accept more work violates the principle of self-management and leads to overcommitment and poor quality.

B. Encourage the team to identify technical risks early
✅ Best practice.
Identifying technical risks early in Sprint Planning helps the team make informed commitments and avoid surprises later.

C. Remind the team to plan how selected work will be done
✅ Good practice.
Sprint Planning includes not just what will be done, but how. This creates shared understanding and reduces rework.

D. Help the team break large stories into smaller tasks
✅ Facilitative Scrum Master behavior.
Helping the team break work into smaller, manageable pieces enables better planning and accurate forecasting.
