What is the purpose of notifications in an agile planning tool?

To automatically create new issues for the team

To replace email communication entirely

To block access to the tool until the user reads all messages

To alert team members about changes, mentions, and updates on work items

A developer is working on a bug fix for issue #42. They have created a branch named 'fix-login-error' and are about to commit their changes. The team wants to ensure that the work is properly tracked and linked to the issue. What is the best practice for the developer to follow?

Include 'Closes #42' in the commit message and push the branch to the remote repository.

Wait until the merge request is created, then manually add a comment to issue #42 with a link to the merge request.

Create a new issue for the branch and mention the original issue #42 in the new issue's description.

Commit the changes without any reference to the issue, since the branch name is descriptive enough.

What is the purpose of a milestone in an agile planning tool?

To track the number of commits in a repository

To assign individual tasks to team members

To store the final version of the product documentation

To mark a specific point in time that groups related issues and merge requests toward a common goal

A team is managing a project with a hard deadline. They have a milestone set for the release date. As the date approaches, they realize that several features in the milestone will not be completed on time. The product owner wants to ensure the most critical features are delivered. What is the most effective strategy?

Keep all the issues in the milestone and ask the team to work overtime to complete them.

Extend the milestone date by two weeks to allow the team to complete all the features.

Re-prioritize the issues in the milestone, moving the most critical ones to the top, and defer the lower-priority issues to a new milestone.

Remove all the issues from the milestone and create a new milestone with a later date.
