hard · Project Management Professional adaptive

Ironvale Grid is managing a utility upgrade. A critical 'Risk Reduction' item (CoD = 80, Size = 10) is identified during a sprint. The Product Owner is reluctant to prioritize it over 'Customer UI' (CoD = 40, Size = 5).

What is the project manager’s best response?

  1. Facilitate a discussion on WSJF, highlighting that the Risk Reduction item (8.0) has a higher value density than the UI (8.0) when accounting for opportunity enablement.
  2. Direct the team to work on the Risk Reduction item because security and risk override customer features, while documenting the decision in the issue log, after reviewing the current risk register entries.
  3. Submit a change request to the CCB to mandate the risk item be completed in the next sprint.
  4. Escalate the PO's reluctance to the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO).
