[VLOG] When The Scrum Product Owner Comes Up with Unplanned Work In The Middle Of The Sprint

Nice Article. It’s a very common in every large organizations. Here is my two cents, DT should observe the unplanned work. INSPECT: How much unplanned work is coming in the middle of the sprint ADPACT: During the next sprint keep that much capacity as buffer and can be negotiated with PO.
For example in a sprint of 100% capacity work, 80% planned work and 20% is unplanned work. There are 5 PBI are selected in Sprint Backlog worth of 100% DT capacity and each PBI worth of 20% capacity of the total capacity of the team. Sprint cadence is 2 weeks. After a week, if PO comes with unplanned work and discuss with DT. Transparency & Visibility: DT will provide their current work status with respect to the sprint goal.
From the 5 PBI’s from Sprint Backlog- 2 PBI – Done , 1 PBI - in progress and 2 PBIs – Not Yet Started .
The unplanned work is worth of 20% of their capacity. DT team will negotiate with PO and ask PO to prioritize the PBI’s 2 pending PBI from the Sprint Backlog and 1 new PBI from unplanned work together. DT can accommodate only 2 PBI’s based on the available capacity.
Please provide your thoughts.

In Scrum, buffer should not be a solution. It just cover up the real problem in the organisation hence lack of transparency.
