A parks recreation-booking Product Owner wants to keep Sprint Planning open until every field-trip rule is specified, and the timebox is already exhausted. What should the Product Owner do?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Endless Planning for perfect field-trip rules is like refusing to leave the driveway until every traffic light in town is green. The timebox exists so the team starts learning from real booking work. Park leftover rules as refinement, not as a longer meeting.
Full Explanation
Scrum events are timeboxed to create focus and force decisions with incomplete information. Extending Sprint Planning until specifications are perfect recreates a waterfall analysis phase and delays empiricism. A Sprint Goal and a forecast of enough work are sufficient to start; remaining parks-booking details emerge through collaboration and refinement. Canceling the Sprint or shifting specification ownership to the Scrum Master does not restore focus.
