The transit real-time-arrivals Product Owner wants more items in the Sprint than Developers forecast they can complete to Done. How should respect show up?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Ordering the menu is the Product Owner’s job; saying how many plates fit in the kitchen is the cooks’. Respect means not stuffing the Sprint after Developers already said what they can finish to Done. Keep ordering the backlog—just do not grab the capacity knob.
Full Explanation
The Product Owner is accountable for Product Backlog order and for maximizing value; Developers are accountable for creating a Done Increment and for their forecast of the work. Respecting that boundary means the Product Owner does not override a capacity forecast to force extra arrivals features into the Sprint. Overtime mandates and old Gantt charts similarly ignore self-management. The Product Owner continues to order what comes next while accepting the forecast as the constraint for this Sprint.
