A project manager is reviewing the team's progress at the end of the first week of a four-week sprint. The burndown chart shows that the team has completed 50% of the work, which is ahead of the ideal line. The project manager wants to document this positive variance. What is the most appropriate action?

Update the definition of done to include more criteria

Add more tasks to the sprint backlog to fill the remaining time

Remove completed tasks from the product backlog

Acknowledge the progress in the daily stand-up and continue with the current plan

A Scrum team is two days into a two-week sprint. The burndown chart shows that the team has completed 20% of the work, but the ideal burndown line indicates they should have completed 30%. The project manager wants to document this variance for the team to discuss. What should the project manager do?

Add the variance to the definition of done

Update the product backlog to reflect the new scope

Use the burndown chart as the basis for discussion in the daily stand-up

Create a new sprint backlog with fewer tasks
