Selected Answer: D
To ensure the success of the agile project, the project leader should have focused on proper backlog grooming, clear sprint goals, prioritization of features based on value, maintaining quality standards, and fostering team collaboration. By avoiding the temptation to fast-track features and instead emphasizing incremental delivery, the team would have been able to deliver high-quality, valuable product features while addressing delays and concerns in a more sustainable way.

The issue is the lead is just fast tracking the work and not addressing the feed back from the rest of the team. For all we know, he is over looking gaps, scheduling too much work, etc. involve the team and use tools better processes, and root cause the issues before they become issues.
