  • Production bugs/requests support. Although the team will work on sprints, it’s important to provide quick reaction to production requests. For this purpose, there will be created separate communication channel, which the team will continuously monitor. Requests will have different levels of urgency which will tell if request is taken into sprint immediately or can be done during the next sprint. In case of urgent request it’s added to the sprint and sprint is replanned accordingly
