During the review of the fourth of five iterations, a stakeholder asks for an accessibility feature required by a new law that takes effect before the planned release. The team estimates the feature will take more than the remaining capacity. What should the project lead do?
- A.Add the feature to the last iteration and ask the team to work overtime.
- ✓ Correct B.Work with the product owner and stakeholders to reprioritize the backlog so the mandatory feature fits in the remaining capacity.
- C.Postpone the release until all planned features and the new feature are complete.
- D.Log the feature as an issue and escalate it to the sponsor for a decision.
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is B. The legal requirement is mandatory, so the product owner and stakeholders should reprioritize the backlog, deferring lower-value items to make room within the remaining capacity. Overtime (A) is not sustainable and may still not be enough. Postponing the release (C) is unnecessary if the backlog can be reprioritized. Escalating to the sponsor (D) skips the product owner's responsibility for prioritization.
