The Scenario
A key stakeholder repeatedly changes priorities mid-sprint, causing disruption, rework, and frustration within the team.
What to Do Next
- Acknowledge their pressure and goals
- Make impact visible: show cost of changes (delays, dropped work)
- Agree a simple change control rule (e.g. swap, don’t add)
- Introduce a weekly priority checkpoint to reduce mid-cycle changes
