The product owner, in consultation with the sales/marketing team and based on the feedback from a focus group, has decided that the product is not likely to sell well and that it needs many more features. To that end, several new stories have been entered into the product backlog.

After the sprint planning meeting is over, each member of the team must complete the tasks that they took responsibility for and record their progress in the Scrum tool.
