Minor Bug vs. Feature Request
Read the scenario, evaluate the stakeholder trade-offs, and choose how you would lead this decision as a Product Manager.
Your team is in the middle of a two-week sprint. A minor, but annoying, UI bug has been reported by a few users. At the same time, the Head of Sales has requested a small feature tweak that would help close a significant new customer.
Stakeholder Perspectives
“The bug is a simple fix, maybe half a day's work. The sales feature is more complex; it could disrupt our sprint commitment.”
“This new customer is a huge logo for us. Their decision hinges on this tweak. We need to show we're responsive to their needs.”
“The bug, while minor, affects a core user flow. Fixing it shows we care about quality and the existing user experience.”
