# Triage urgent work against the sprint commitment

Illustrative planning brief; no automatic product import.

Illustrative case: a stakeholder asks for a presentation export during an already committed sprint. The deadline is tomorrow, but the audience and minimum output are unclear.

## Decision

Confirm the minimum urgent outcome; replace a named task or defer the request with an explanation.

## Owned work

- Clarify the actual deadline
  - Owner role: Duty coordinator
  - Acceptance evidence: The requester confirms the audience, deadline and smallest acceptable output.
- Identify displaced work
  - Owner role: Sprint lead
  - Acceptance evidence: The decision names the committed task that would move and its consequence.
- Record the accepted tradeoff
  - Owner role: Decision owner
  - Acceptance evidence: The urgent request is accepted, reduced or deferred with a communicated reason.

## Workflow

1. Gather the consequence of waiting rather than accepting an urgent label at face value.
2. Ask the commitment owner which work should move if the request is accepted.
3. Notify affected owners and revisit the changed plan at the next check-in.

## Judgment

For genuine incidents, follow your incident response procedure first. This worksheet is for ordinary delivery reprioritization.


## Filled illustrative decision

The invented stakeholder needs a three-slide summary tomorrow, not a new presentation-export feature. The lead proposes a manual summary, identifies the label review it would displace, and requests approval of that tradeoff. No sprint task changes until the commitment owner accepts the replacement.


## Workflow questions

### Who should decide the tradeoff?

The person responsible for the affected delivery commitment, with input from the requester and owners of displaced work.

### Should the urgent task be hidden from the sprint plan?

No. Record both the incoming work and the changed commitment so the final review explains what happened.
