PMP · Question 57 · Task 8: Plan and manage scope
During sprint planning, the product owner presents several 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 planning scope
Facilitate a discussion about team capacity, business priorities, and potential trade-offs
Ask the team to work additional hours to accommodate both the original and new work
