Question

in the middle of iteration, how should a team handle requirement changes from the customer

Answer 1

Answer:

If our customer sees some early deliverables and decides to make changes, we can do that in the next iteration, maybe only one or two

Answer 2

Answer:

In an ideal case, the new requirement becomes a story and as a result moves to the backlog. Based on the priority of the change, the team can take it up in the next iteration or has to accomodate it in the present iteration.

However, if it is to be accommodated it in the current iteration, then the consequences should be communicated to the stakeholder.

Incorporating a new story in the middle of the iteration can result in spilling over few stories to the next iteration.
