medium · Project Management Professional Adaptive / Agile
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?
- 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.
- Facilitate a discussion between the PO and stakeholder to identify which existing items will be de-prioritized to fit the epic.
- Commit the team to the two-sprint deadline to maintain stakeholder satisfaction at Whitlock Software.
- Submit a change request to the CCB to extend the project duration by one full sprint to cover the deficit.
