Who must change the Work in Progress (WIP) Limits in the Definition of Workflow when urgent

work emerges from the Sprint?

(choose the best answer)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

In Professional Scrum with Kanban, the Work in Progress (WIP) limits are set as a policy to maintain a sustainable flow of work. Urgent work emerging does not automatically warrant changing these WIP limits; instead, the team should first discuss how to accommodate the urgent work within the existing constraints. Modifying WIP limits for urgent work could undermine the benefits of a controlled flow, which is why urgent work should not be a reason to change WIP limits during a Sprint

I lean towards option D, thinking that urgent work shouldn't change WIP Limits, but I remember some discussions about flexibility in Scrum.

I feel like the Product Owner should have a say in this, especially if the urgent work impacts the product's value, but I could be wrong.

I remember a practice question where we discussed the role of the Scrum Master in managing workflow, but I can't recall if they have the authority to change WIP Limits.

I think the Developers might be the ones who need to change the WIP Limits since they are the ones doing the work, but I'm not entirely sure.
