During Sprint Planning, the Development Team realizes that the total effort for the selected Product Backlog items exceeds their historical velocity. What should the team do?
Trap 1: Extend the Sprint duration to accommodate all the work.
Extending the Sprint violates the timebox.
Trap 2: Commit to all items and work extra hours to deliver.
The team should not commit to an unrealistic scope.
Trap 3: Lower the Definition of Done to complete items faster.
The Definition of Done is not negotiable per sprint.
