| Jun 7, 2016 at 21:42 | comment | added | RyanTheJenks | @bobo2000 is correct. Your manager isn't feeling the pain or seeing the cost of these late changes. If they request a shift in priorities, you need to show the the backlog and ask where this new feature should be prioritized. The great thing about a stacked rank is that it becomes very clear that when you insert one tiny story, everything else is pushed down. That makes the cost very clear. | |
| May 25, 2016 at 12:08 | comment | added | Bart van Ingen Schenau | @bobo2000: Abnormal sprint termination should not happen very often. But it is also a very clear message to management that changing the priorities of work being produced right now is costly. That alone should be enough to let them think twice about how important the new request really is. | |
| May 25, 2016 at 11:59 | comment | added | bobo2000 | @BartvanIngenSchenau defeats the point of Scrum in my opinion if I keep having to recreate the sprint backlog once a change requests comes through. Often individual stories gets changed, not the entire backlog from experience. | |
| May 25, 2016 at 10:54 | comment | added | Bart van Ingen Schenau | @bobo2000: Even with Scrum you can use the described approach. The major difference is that you will take a set of stories from the product backlog at once (this becomes the sprint backlog) and if you boss wants to change the set of stories in the sprint, the complete set gets dropped and you start planning a new sprint (this is called abnormal sprint termination). | |
