What should the agile team do?

Agile teams embrace change and collaborate with customers to deliver value. The PMI Agile Practice Guide (Section 2.1: Agile Mindset) supports responding to change—even late in the development cycle—if it results in business value. The team should accept the new goal, replan with the product owner, and adjust scope or priority if needed, rather than resist or escalate.

Option A is correct: it reflects the agile value of responding to change and delivering early value.

Option B is too rigid and contrary to agile principles.

Option C implies a punitive model that does not align with collaborative agile contracts.

Option D introduces unnecessary cost and overhead without first trying to replan collaboratively.
