An agile team is working on a task to 'implement a search feature that returns results in under two seconds.' The team has implemented the feature, but performance testing shows it takes three seconds for large datasets. The product owner is under pressure to release and suggests relaxing the success criterion to three seconds. The team believes the performance can be improved with additional optimization. What should the team do?

Propose a short optimization effort to meet the two-second criterion, and if unsuccessful, revisit the criterion with the product owner.

Agree to relax the criterion to three seconds to meet the release deadline.

Refuse to change the criterion and delay the release until performance is improved.

Ignore the product owner's suggestion and continue optimizing without a deadline.

An agile team is planning a sprint with limited capacity. They have four tasks: (1) a high-value feature for a major client, (2) a low-value bug fix, (3) a task that unblocks another team's critical work, and (4) a technical debt reduction. The product owner wants to maximize value delivered to customers. Which task should the team prioritize?

The high-value feature for the major client

The task that unblocks another team's critical work

An agile team is preparing for a sprint. They have the following tasks: (1) create a login page, (2) implement password reset, (3) set up user authentication, and (4) build a user dashboard. The team wants to deliver a usable authentication flow. What is the most appropriate execution order?

Login page → password reset → user dashboard → user authentication

Password reset → user authentication → login page → user dashboard

User dashboard → user authentication → login page → password reset

User authentication → login page → password reset → user dashboard
