What needs to happen when new detailed requirements are added to a timebox?
When new detailed requirements are introduced, it's crucial to ensure that the project remains on track while accommodating these changes. The delivery milestones should be reviewed and re-planned to account for the new requirements. This process involves analyzing the impact of the new requirements on the timeline and making necessary adjustments to the project schedule and plan, ensuring balanced progress and successful delivery within the timebox.
I think: D. Formal change control should be applied
A as per negative selection: B) The well-known "keep teams stable" doesn't allow me to choose B C) Time is fixed. D) Formal change control is not applied for detailed requirements as per PRINCE2 Agile
If you can only choose one option, then the more appropriate choice would typically be: C. The delivery milestones should be reviewed and re-planned This option directly addresses the need to adjust the project plan and schedule to accommodate the new detailed requirements within the timebox. It is a standard practice in project management to review and re-plan when changes occur to ensure that the project remains on track. Option A (removing similar-level effort requirements) is a potential strategy within this re-planning process, but it doesn't encompass the entire process of assessing and adjusting the project plan, which is covered by option C.
A is correct, I'll take that first comment back, had a look into this deeper.
Can be C...
If the new requirements cannot be accommodated within the existing timebox without compromising the delivery of other requirements, then it may be necessary to remove requirements of a similar level of effort in order to make room for the new requirements. This is often referred to as the "feature trade-off" approach.
Correct answer should be D
