Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Inspection without a same-day backlog shuffle is like reading the weather radar and still packing for yesterday's picnic. The Review just handed better evidence about what residents need. Move the waiver work up now, while the conversation is still warm.
Full Explanation
Empiricism requires adaptation after inspection. Stakeholder evidence from the Sprint Review is an input to Product Backlog ordering, and delaying that adaptation until an annual rate cycle wastes the learning. The Product Owner should update order promptly so subsequent Planning reflects the new value signal. Mid-Sprint stuffing without reordering, or protecting a roadmap slide, preserves output plans at the expense of billing outcomes.
