PMP · Question 22 · Task 8: Plan and manage scope
During sprint planning, the product owner presents new high-priority user stories that were not in the original product backlog. The development team expresses concern that adding these stories will impact their ability to complete previously committed work. What should the project manager do FIRST?
Answer options:
Add the new stories to the sprint since they are high priority from the product owner
Reject the new stories since they weren't in the original sprint plan
Facilitate a discussion about capacity, priorities, and trade-offs to determine the best approach
Ask the team to work overtime to accommodate both the original and new work
