Agile Question 558

[admin]

An Agile coach observes that the team often appears off-track midway through the sprint when using a burndown chart, even though scope changes have occurred. The team feels demotivated due to the misleading chart.

Which is the most appropriate corrective action?

A. Switch to a burnup chart to reflect scope adjustments
B. Update burndown chart only at sprint end
C. Use cumulative flow diagram to track effort
D. Break tasks smaller to smooth the burndown line

✅ Correct Answer: A. Switch to a burnup chart to reflect scope adjustments

🔍 Explanation:
A. Switch to a burnup chart to reflect scope adjustments
✅ Correct – Burnup charts separate work done from scope changes, giving clearer visibility when scope increases mid-sprint.

B. Update burndown chart only at sprint end
❌ Misleads the team during the sprint, negating transparency.

C. Use cumulative flow diagram to track effort
❌ Useful for Kanban or flow tracking, but not for scope vs. progress clarity.

D. Break tasks smaller to smooth the burndown line
❌ May help chart smoothness but doesn’t address scope changes.
