Two team members were recently released from a project because the customer reduced the budget. However, the agile team is still receiving the same, if not more, work requirements as before.
How should the agile project leader resolve this situation?
When team members are released and the budget is reduced, the overall capacity and, consequently, the velocity of the team will be affected. In agile projects, it is crucial to communicate any significant changes that impact the delivery to the customer. Explaining the new team velocity to the customer ensures they understand how the changes in team capacity will affect the project's delivery timelines. This can help in managing expectations and reprioritizing the work according to the new velocity. This approach focuses on maintaining transparency and keeping the customer informed, which is critical in agile project management.
In an Agile project, updating the restriction log is an important step to reflect any changes in the project's constraints. The situation described in the question involves a change in the team capacity, and this change should be reflected in the restriction log. By updating the restriction log, the agile project leader can communicate to the team and stakeholders that the team's capacity has reduced, and the new work requirements need to be adjusted accordingly.
B. Update the restriction log with the new team capacity. Since the agile team has lost two team members due to the customer reducing the budget, the project leader needs to update the restriction log with the new team capacity. The restriction log is an agile tool that documents any constraints that limit the team's capacity to deliver work. By updating the restriction log with the new team capacity, the team can adjust their workload and adjust their priorities accordingly to match their new capacity. This ensures that they can deliver the highest priority work within the constraints of their capacity.
