Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Before acting, Jerwin should determine what impact this will have on the backlog. By reviewing the product backlog, Jerwin can understand what items have been completed, what is left in the queue, and what value has not been delivered to the organization through the project. Hiring additional workers may not be necessary. Asking the steering committee to retain workers may not be necessary. Jerwin would not remove items from the product backlog to reduce scope as this is the product owner's responsibility.Discussion
