QuestionQ259

Product

A stakeholder raises a concern about the volume of changes being introduced to a project. What should the product owner do?

  • A Escalate the complaint to the scrum master
  • B Suggest implementing a more rigorous change governance
  • C Coach the stakeholder on agile principles
  • D Agree to limit scope changes going forward to control costs
Explanation

Agile embraces adaptive planning and accommodates changing requirements to maximize product value. Stakeholders should understand that change is managed transparently through the Product Backlog and its ordering, rather than prevented through rigid controls or arbitrary scope limits. The Scrum Guide describes stakeholder inspection and adaptation, and states that people seeking to change the Product Backlog do so by convincing the Product Owner.
