At the 10th sprint review, the stakeholders are disappointed and angry. They have determined that the product or system being built both will not meet their needs and will cost more than they are willing to spend. What factors may have led to this? (choose three)

DThe scrum master has not ensured that the project is transparent

EThe stakeholders were not allowed to enter the development area

FThe stakeholders haven't been using sprint reviews to inspect and evaluate progress

Answer : B, D, F

there is no project plan, the presence of stakeholders in the development area is probably not helping and there is no project management. Transparancy would avoid the surprise for the stakeholders.

If the stakeholders couldn't attend the sprint review they would also not be up to date and missing out on an opportunity to inspect and adapt.
