Sprint Goals met but features don't solve stakeholder problems
WHAT IT TESTS: Distinguishing output from outcome in Sprint Review. ANSWER OUTLINE: Cite weak Product Goal alignment, shallow Review inspection, and missing outcome metrics. RED FLAG: Blaming stakeholders or pushing velocity instead of backlog adaptation.
WHAT IT TESTS: Whether you can distinguish output delivery from outcome validation within Scrum's empirical model. ANSWER OUTLINE: Identify breakdowns in the Sprint Review inspection loop, misalignment between the Sprint Goal and the Product Goal, and a Product Backlog ordered by output rather than validated learning; advocate for deeper stakeholder co-creation during planning and outcome-based metrics. RED FLAG: Treating stakeholder dissatisfaction as a requirements failure or prescribing more velocity, which ignores empirical adaptation.
