Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: B
Explanation
If the Developers realize they have taken on too much work for a Sprint, reducing the Definition of Done is not the appropriate response. The Definition of Done is a set of shared understandings about what it means for work to be complete. It should be a standard that ensures quality and is not something that should be changed to accommodate an overbooked Sprint. Instead, the Developers should work with the Product Owner to negotiate which items in the Sprint Backlog can be removed or postponed, ensuring that the most valuable work remains. It is key that the Scrum Team communicates openly and regularly about progress to make these adjustments as necessary.Discussion
