medium · Project Management Professional adaptive

A stakeholder at Thornfield Labs is frustrated that an adaptive project's total cost is not fixed. They demand that every backlog refinement session be treated as an Integrated Change Control meeting with a CCB.

How should the project manager respond?

  1. Escalate the stakeholder's behavior to the Sponsor, citing 'resistance to the agile mindset' as a project risk.
  2. Agree to the CCB request to ensure the stakeholder feels a sense of 'control' over the project's financial spend.
  3. Explain the adaptive value proposition where scope is variable to optimize for value within a fixed time and budget.
  4. Direct the team to start providing detailed 180-day cost forecasts for every item in the product backlog.
