Question 72
Your development team holds their sprint review meeting with the stakeholders and demonstrates the product increment for release. During this ceremony, one of the influential stakeholders disagreed with the team and insisted on adding more product features before moving to the next iteration. As an agile manager, what is your advice to the stakeholder?
- A Advise the stakeholder that change is not accepted as the Definition of Done and finalized.
- B Adding features can be costly and not add benefit to the increment without revisiting the backlog.
- C Ask the stakeholder to submit a formal request.
- D Ask the product owner to convince the stakeholder that there is no need for changes.
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: B
Explanation
It is up to the development team to establish sprint goals. Changes to the product are fine, but they must be added to the product backlog and prioritized by the product owner, not in the current iteration. Formal requests or fixed scope of work are not in line with agile values. Changes are welcome, but changes must follow the rules of agile. The product owner may collect the priority, but the development team will ultimately prioritize the sprint backlog.Discussion
