   A team is reviewing their burndown chart at the end of the second week of a three-week sprint. The chart shows the remaining work line is well above the ideal burndown line. The product owner mentions that a new high-priority feature was added to the sprint during the first week. What is the most accurate interpretation of this situation?

   • AThe team is behind schedule, and the burndown chart indicates they will not complete the sprint goal unless they work overtime.
   • BThe team is on track because the burndown chart only tracks the original scope, and the new feature is not included.
   • CThe team should remove the new feature from the sprint to get the burndown chart back on track.
   • DThe burndown chart is not a reliable indicator of progress because the scope changed, so the team should use a burnup chart to track progress against the new total scope.
