During a sprint review, the client requests a new feature that is very different from the current product goal. The team is excited about the idea, but the Product Owner is concerned about the remaining budget. What is the BEST course of action?

Answer options:

Reject the request as it is outside the current product goal.

Add the feature to the next sprint backlog immediately to satisfy the client.

Add the item to the product backlog and prioritize it against existing items to see if it fits within the budget/value proposition.

Ask the client to sign a new contract for the additional feature.

How to approach this question

Agile handles change via the Backlog. New idea -> Backlog -> Prioritize.

Full Answer

C.Add the item to the product backlog and prioritize it against existing items to see if it fits within the budget/value proposition.✓ Correct

The Product Backlog is the holding tank for all potential work. The PO manages priority and value there. If the new feature is high value, it might displace lower value items, keeping the budget neutral.

Common mistakes

Thinking 'Agile' means saying yes to everything immediately (B) or that contracts prevent change (D).
