How do you respond to a business where the requirements change (which is fine
we embrace change), but too soon before a sprint starts. So, we cannot possibly refine, understand and estimate this new change in time for sprint planning
yet most of the time these changes are labeled as the highest priority work? This comes from a Product Owner primarily, feeling like I am forcing work into the Development team and needing to put in 12 hour days to stay ahead.

Agile’s principles revolve around “sustainable” and “continuous” but within Scrum, what would your response be to a team that believes it needs an “off week” between sprints for developer-driven testing, documentation, etc.?

However the Dev Team has User Stories defined which complies with INVEST Criteria and have acceptance criteria, they prefer to test all Users Stories when MVP (minimium valuable product) is achieved. That could be counterproductive with having an increment at the end of the sprint., Have you had any situation like this? Thougths?

I work with a Scrum team where the developers know that they are a self-managing team and they get to determine the format for the Daily Scrum. They want to change their daily scrums to be a daily chat on Slack, rather than a Zoom meeting. How do you feel about that?

How much emphasis should be placed on measuring the efficency/delivery output of the team by means of burndown charts, sprint reports etc? The team is performing well, but there is a pressure from upper up to report such metrics.

I’m a SM within Scrum team that is developing an MVP. The organisation requires it to be delivered by a certain date and we feel we need extra people in the team to deliver it in time due to the number of stories we have. What’s the best approach to upscale and train additional team members quickly?
