During an iteration, an agile team discovers infrastructure requirements that were not initially considered. What should the team do to effectively manage this?
A.
Rework the iteration scope to accommodate these requirements
B.
Add these requirements into the product backlog for future consideration
C.
Raise the discovery of these requirements as an issue, and escalate to management
D.
Immediately start working on these requirements
Prioritization: Adding the new requirements to the product backlog allows the product owner to prioritize them based on their importance and urgency.
Estimation: The team can estimate the effort required for these new requirements during the next planning session, ensuring accurate planning.
Iteration Integrity: This approach maintains the integrity of the current iteration, allowing the team to focus on completing the committed work.
Stakeholder Involvement: The product owner and stakeholders can review and discuss the new requirements, ensuring alignment with business goals.
Avoiding Disruption: Immediately starting work on the new requirements or reworking the iteration scope can disrupt the team's workflow and lead to incomplete deliverables.
Is it not the product owner’s responsibility to prioritize on the backlog? And since that choice is absent, I think the best route is to escalate which makes option C the best pick for this question.
Yes it is the product owner's responsibility and the question asks what the agile team would do. The product owner is a member of the agile team. Therefore, option B is valid.
The term team would also include PO. However, these are infrastructure changes. Management / Stakeholders would have already provided their input/requirements. With this change, management would have to be updated in the spirit of transparency and also to validate the team's findings based on their needs and what will provide value for them. I think C is correct.
