1.)Ann is invited to help an Agile Release Train (ART) that has struggled through multiple Innovation and Planning (IP) Iterations. They just finished the second Iteration in the Program Increment (PI) and have nothing to demonstrate at the System Demo.

Program stakeholders are really concerned. What should Ann do?

 

• Rearchitect the system so that there are no dependencies between the teams,

and integration is not needed

• Replan the current PI: De-scope to leave enough time to integrate what has

been built during the IP Iteration

adjust scope based on learnings

separately in the team branch
