The CEO asks the Developers to add a "very important" item to a Sprint that is in progress. What should the Developers do?

A. Add the item to the current Sprint without any adjustments
B. Inform the other members of the Scrum Team so the team can decide what to do
C. Add the item to the current Sprint and drop an item of equal size
D. Add the item to the next Sprint

Correct Answer: B

This is not a desired situation, the stakeholders (which include management) should talk to the Product Owner so the Product Owner can prioritize this item in the Product Backlog and then talk to the Developers to see if this can be included in the next Sprint. In this instance the Developers should inform all members of the Scrum team, including the Scrum Master and Product Owner so they can decide what to do.
