A product owner wants to add a new user story to the sprint backlog one week into a 2-week sprint. What is the appropriate Scrum response?
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: Place the story in the product backlog for consideration in the next sprint planning

Explanation

Once a sprint begins, the sprint backlog is protected from scope additions by the PO. New items belong in the product backlog for prioritization and selection in the next sprint. This sprint protection is essential for team focus and predictability. If the new story is truly urgent (higher value than current sprint items), the team could stop the sprint — but this is rare and disruptive.
