Question: Your software project for your proposed application or product, using the agile SCRUM development strategy, has been moving along well for the first few weeks
Your software project for your proposed application or product, using the agile SCRUM development strategy, has been moving along well for the first few weeks but this week some unexpected big problems have arisen.The VP of Marketing has reported that many users have not been happy with the features that have been delivered in the first sprints, and is concerned the Product Owner isn't listening to the user's requirements. After seeing the software delivered so far the users have also come up with several new features they want which were not mentioned earlier.The CFO has reported that due to lagging sales in the last quarter, the Board of Directors is concerned about the funds required for some future products and yours is on the list of those under scrutiny.Your most senior and dedicated developer has turned in her notice after receiving a salary increase from a competitor organization. There are other developers equally strong with technical and communication skills and both are competing, sometimes not nicely, to replace the departing senior developer.A new Manager of Application Development has just been hired and he thinks your project completion date could be moved forward by several months to a much earlier date by adding some more software developers. He suggests adding about a halfdozen interns. In addition he thinks the morning minute meetings should be abandoned in favor of hour sessions only or times weekly.As the Software Project Manager and SCRUM Master for this project, what would you suggest needs to be done to resolve these issues as quickly as possible?
