Agile Question 553

[admin]

You’re working with a cross-functional Agile team building an e-commerce platform. During release planning, a senior stakeholder pushes to include every backlog item marked as “High Priority” in the first release. The team estimates this will take 5 sprints and may compromise quality due to time constraints.

What is the best approach in this situation?

A. Follow stakeholder’s request and aim to deliver all items
B. Split high-priority items across releases based on business value
C. Ask the product owner to reassign priorities to lower some items
D. Extend sprint duration to accommodate all requested features

✅ Correct Answer: B. Split high-priority items across releases based on business value

🔍 Explanation of Options:
A. Follow stakeholder’s request and aim to deliver all items
❌ Incorrect. This ignores capacity, risks burnout, and delays value delivery. Agile favors incremental value and sustainable pace.

B. Split high-priority items across releases based on business value
✅ Correct. Agile release planning emphasizes frequent delivery of the most valuable functionality. Break up features to release earlier, collect feedback, and adjust future work accordingly.

C. Ask the product owner to reassign priorities to lower some items
❌ Incorrect. Reprioritization may be helpful, but the issue is not just priority—it’s delivery timing. Business value and release cadence must be considered.

D. Extend sprint duration to accommodate all requested features
❌ Incorrect. This violates Agile principle of consistent sprint lengths for rhythm and predictability. Better to plan over multiple sprints.
