Answer: Consistent stakeholder attendance and feedback at sprint reviews
Regular participation and constructive feedback at sprint reviews signal that stakeholders are actively engaged and invested in the product's direction.
What is the risk of over-engaging high-interest but low-power stakeholders in decision making?

Devoting excessive engagement time to low-power stakeholders misallocates effort that could be better spent on stakeholders who drive strategic outcomes.

Answer: Facilitating a stakeholder alignment workshop to achieve consensus on a shared product vision
A facilitated alignment session brings conflicting stakeholders together to negotiate a unified product vision that all parties can support.
How should an agile team handle a stakeholder who insists on detailed long-term plans and fixed deliverable dates?
Answer: Educate the stakeholder on agile forecasting tools like release roadmaps and rolling-wave planning
Agile teams can meet stakeholder planning needs through roadmaps and forecasts while maintaining adaptability, without committing to rigid fixed dates.
