The Product Owner has identified a critical change in priorities and wants to add a high-priority item to the current Sprint. What action should the Scrum Team take?

  • Evaluate the impact on the Sprint Goal and discuss with the Product Owner
  • Immediately incorporate the new item into the Sprint backlog
  • Refuse to accommodate the change as it disrupts the Sprint plan
  • Schedule a separate meeting to discuss the change
When the Product Owner identifies a critical change in priorities during a Sprint, the Scrum Team should evaluate the impact on the Sprint Goal and discuss it with the Product Owner. This ensures transparency and alignment with the Sprint Goal, enabling the team to make informed decisions about adjusting the Sprint backlog. Rushing to incorporate the new item without considering its impact can lead to scope creep and jeopardize Sprint commitments.
