the PO ask the SCRUM team to stop all the development and hold them until further notice due to unexpected challenges related to Financial part ,so this project need to postpone until unknown date ,our concern is related to the opened projects that reflect in the DevOps tool ,should we move them to backlog or keep them under development ,and who is the responsible to take the decision ? also who is responsible to move the project in the system in this case
