During a sprint planning, the development lead highlights the importance of working on technical debt tasks that are critical for the product performance. However, the tasks will consume most of the team's capacity and they will not be able to work on product feature development. What should the project manager do?
- A.Add the technical debt tasks to the sprint backlog.
- B.Ask the sponsor for more resources to continue at the same pace.
- C.Work on the features already prioritized by the product owner.
- ✓ Correct D.Invite technical stakeholders for backlog prioritization.
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is D. Prioritizing technical debt against features is a backlog decision owned by the product owner. Inviting technical stakeholders to backlog prioritization lets the product owner weigh technical debt against product features with full information. Adding the work directly to the sprint backlog (A) bypasses the product owner, asking for more resources (B) is premature, and ignoring the technical debt (C) risks product performance.
