Help
I came across this question:
An agile team is halfway through a two-week sprint when a critical security vulnerability is discovered in a third-party library they use. The product owner insists the current sprint goal must not change. What should the project manager do?
a. Support the product owner in re-prioritizing the sprint backlog immediately to address the critical vulnerability, even if it changes the sprint goal.
b. Instruct the team to continue with the committed sprint backlog and plan to address the vulnerability in the next sprint.
c. Form a separate task force outside the sprint to fix the vulnerability so the main team can focus on the sprint goal.
d. Document the vulnerability as a high-priority item in the product backlog for the next sprint planning session.
-> Agile principles state that a sprint in progress should be protected from changes to allow the team to focus. However, option A suggests re-prioritizing the sprint backlog even if it changes the sprint goal. Doesn't this contradict the core Agile principle of sprint stability?
