A team member has spent 5 days on a spike and the first set of experiments has not been successful. The issue is the development team member has determined a short-term rather than a long-term solution. What should the project leader do?

A. Assign the spike to another resource to continue research for the long-term solution > Scrum Master should not align resources. B. Re-establish the spike, encourage experimentation and collaborate with the team > This seems to be correct answer. Time-box is not an issue until old spike is over (even with unsucessfull solution) and new spike established. Experimentation and collaboration is always good in agile. C. Stop experimentation and negotiate the short-term solution with the customer > Agile/scrum assume that long-term solutions for customer satisfaction should be used D. Schedule a root-cause analysis with the development team on the main issues with the spike > This is partly correct answer because >> root-cause analysis only does not lead the team to the solution. >> the root cause is found already - short-term solution found instead of long-term.
