Answer options:
Add the new stories to the sprint since they represent important customer feedback and are high priority
Reject the new stories since they weren't in the original sprint planning and would disrupt commitments
Facilitate a discussion about team capacity, business priorities, and sustainable approaches to managing the new requirements
Ask the team to work additional hours to accommodate both the original commitments and new high-priority work
