Well, B) is the textbook answer, but I'm feeling a bit rebellious today. How about D)? Raise an exception and let the architecture team deal with it. What's the worst that could happen, another cancelled sprint?

Haha, C) Providing feedback to change the standards? Good luck with that! The architecture team is like a brick wall, you're not getting through. B) is the safest bet, but where's the fun in that?

I'd go with D) Raising an exception for non-adherence to the standards. Sometimes you have to bend the rules a bit to get things done. As long as the architecture team is on board, it's better than scrapping the whole sprint.

B) Ensuring early engagement of key stakeholders is the way to go. That would have helped identify this issue upfront and avoid the sprint cancellation. Hindsight is 20/20, but better planning could have saved the day.
