Quill Digital's 'Data Analytics' team has reached its WIP limit of 10 items. A senior executive demands that a 'small' new reporting feature be started immediately for an afternoon meeting.

What is the project manager's best response?

  1. Add the feature to the current sprint backlog and assign it to the lead dev, before confirming the relevant stakeholders agree.
  2. Advise the executive that the feature can only be started if another item is moved back to the backlog to respect the WIP limit.
  3. Direct the developers to start the new feature as a 'special case' bypass.
  4. Escalate the executive's interference to the PMO to protect the team.
