A team is holding the first demonstration of the software built to date on a medium-sized project. The product owner has uncovered a number of issues they would like to be addressed before providing approval.
How should the project manager approach this problem?
The project manager should plan to address the issues through backlog grooming and incorporate them into the next sprint. This is a standard procedure in Agile methodology, where feedback from the product owner during demonstrations or sprint reviews is used to refine the backlog and ensure that the software being developed meets the needs and expectations of the stakeholders. Escalating issues to the steering committee or referring to the change management plan or business requirement document does not align with the iterative and collaborative nature of Agile projects, and delaying the issues until the second version of the software would ignore the immediate feedback and needs of the product owner.
I'm not sure A is correct because project manager is allowed to do backlog grooming. As I checked, backlog is managed by product owner or manager. Then.. what would be the answer?
A. Plan to address the issues through backlog grooming and incorporate them into the next sprint. The product owner's feedback is valuable, and it is crucial to address the issues they have raised in a timely and effective manner. Incorporating these issues into the backlog and addressing them in the next sprint will help ensure that the software meets the product owner's needs and expectations.
This is just first demo and PO has a lot of feedback so PM & team just need to address the comment and add its to backlog for the next iteration
A. Plan to address the issues through backlog grooming and incorporate them into the next sprint
A is right
Can someone please help with this? I'm totally lost
Demo means sprint review, in completed items will be added to backlog and then to to next sprint
