Stakeholder Keeps Changing Priorities

stakeholderspriorities

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
