Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Ask the development team to work overtime to include it
Why it's wrong here
Scrum discourages overtime; work is added to backlog not forced into current sprint.
- ✗
Reject the request because the sprint is complete
Why it's wrong here
The request can be considered for a future sprint; rejection is not required.
- ✓
Add the feature to the product backlog for future prioritization
Why this is correct
New features are added to the product backlog and prioritized by the product owner.
- ✗
Add the feature to the current sprint immediately
Why it's wrong here
Adding to the current sprint disrupts the sprint goal and is not allowed without renegotiation.
