An agile team has completed five sprints. The final product is expected to be delivered in another three sprints. The project manager receives a call from the technical resource manager that one of the developers must take leave for the next 4 weeks, with no temporary replacement available. This is going to significantly impact the deliverable.
What should the project manager do?
- Request additional funding from the sponsor to obtain a new resource to fill in the gap.
- Inform the customer of the impact immediately and prepare for escalation.
- Ask the product owner to stretch the delivery team further to complete the final product in the original timeline.
- Perform an impact analysis, readjust the schedule as needed, and communicate the changes to the customer.
