   A team is under intense pressure from management to deliver a critical release on time. A team member has an idea for a new approach that could improve performance by 20%, but it is risky and could delay the release. The team lead must balance the need for innovation with the need for delivery. What is the most effective strategy?

   • AAllow the team member to run a time-boxed spike for one day to assess the feasibility of the new approach, then decide based on the findings.
   • BReject the idea outright to ensure the release is not delayed, as the current approach is already proven.
   • CSchedule the experiment for the next release cycle, after the current release is delivered.
   • DIncorporate the new approach into the release plan immediately, as the potential 20% improvement is too valuable to ignore.
