L-impostazzjoni default f'Scrum hija protezzjoni tal-Sprint Goal: l-ebda bidla m'għandha tiġi miżjuda li l-jexponiha għall-periklu. Iżda Scrum mhux strett — l-iskop jista' jiġi nerenegozjat mal-Product Owner, u bidla verament urġenti tista' tiġi mmaniġġata, b'trade-offs esplicit.
Qafas tad-deċiżjoni
1. Does the new request threaten the Sprint Goal?
NO → can it wait for the next Sprint? Usually yes → backlog it.
YES → talk to the Product Owner about trade-offs.
2. Is it a genuine emergency (prod down, legal, security)?
YES → the PO may cancel/replace work; something must drop.
3. Make the trade-off visible: pulling X in means Y comes out.
