Valentina Desai's project at Dawnbreak Software is using an adaptive framework. The team has been following two-week iterations with planning and review ceremonies. A major stakeholder requests a feature that wasn't in the original scope. How should Valentina respond according to the adaptive framework?
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: Add the feature to the product backlog and work with the product owner to prioritize it for a future iteration

Explanation

In adaptive frameworks, new requirements are welcomed and managed through the backlog. The proper response is to add the request to the backlog and work with the product owner to prioritize it appropriately, respecting the current iteration's commitment while planning for future incorporation.

**Why not A:** Immediately adding the feature to the current iteration disrupts the team's existing commitment and undermines sprint planning integrity. In adaptive frameworks, the current iteration's scope should be protected, and new requests should be managed through the backlog for future iterations.

**Why not B:** Stopping all work and creating a formal change request is a predictive (waterfall) approach to change management. In adaptive frameworks, scope changes are expected and managed through the product backlog and prioritization process, not through formal change control boards.

**Why not D:** Rejecting the request outright because it was not in the original scope contradicts the adaptive framework's core principle of welcoming changing requirements. Adaptive approaches are designed to accommodate evolving needs through iterative planning and backlog management.
