An agile team at Thornfield Labs has a velocity of V = 25 points per sprint. During backlog refinement, the Product Owner introduces a new 'Cloud-Sync' epic estimated at 60 story points. The stakeholder from Whitlock Software demands this be finished in the next two sprints.

What should the project manager do?

  1. Ask the team to increase their velocity to 30 points per sprint to accommodate the extra 10 points of work, before confirming the relevant stakeholders agree.
  2. Facilitate a discussion between the PO and stakeholder to identify which existing items will be de-prioritized to fit the epic.
  3. Commit the team to the two-sprint deadline to maintain stakeholder satisfaction at Whitlock Software.
  4. Submit a change request to the CCB to extend the project duration by one full sprint to cover the deficit.
