Selected Answer: C
Impact Analysis: Encouraging the product owner and team to analyze the impact of the changes helps in understanding how the new specifications will affect the project scope, timeline, and budget. Prioritization: By prioritizing the backlog, the team can identify which features are most critical and which can be deferred or modified to accommodate the new changes within the existing budget. Stakeholder Engagement: This approach involves key stakeholders in the decision-making process, ensuring that the changes are managed collaboratively and transparently. Agile Principles: Agile methodologies emphasize flexibility and adaptability. Prioritizing the backlog aligns with these principles by allowing the team to adjust the project scope based on the most current and valuable requirements.

A. Explain that agile principles mandate that there should be a contingency budget for agile projects. Reason: While it is true that agile projects often include contingency budgets, simply explaining this principle does not address the immediate need to manage the requested changes within the current budget constraints. B. Request the team work overtime to get the work done on time and within the allocated budget. Reason: Asking the team to work overtime is not a sustainable solution and can lead to burnout and decreased productivity. It also does not address the need to manage the project scope and budget effectively. D. Review the contract documentation with the customer to clarify the specific agreed upon budget amount. Reason: Reviewing the contract documentation may clarify the budget constraints, but it does not provide a solution for managing the requested changes. It is more important to focus on how to adapt the project plan to accommodate the new requirements.
