So what are you going to do?
Link the client with the team doing the work and the Scrum Master in charge of them to facilitate the discussion of capacity and realistic delivery and/or to let them tell the client that they’re at capacity and can’t do it. Trying to protect the team. But, if they say they can do it and take on more work, that’s their own grave they’re digging.
We don’t have a dedicated dev and test team. We’re leveraging another group’s dev and test team for our project (in house client team that doesn’t pull consulting or agency hours).
If no one is going to die if this doesn’t get done, it doesn’t need to be done tomorrow. There aren’t any hard pressing deadlines or dependencies that rely on the additional functionality to be delivered. Manage client expectations, protect the team, incorporate in next iteration. To the client, everything is urgent and important and needs to be done immediately. As the consultant, it’s my job to tell them to calm the fuck down and determine what’s possible and realistic.
Good Job OP, so many consultants do a shitty job at managing the client
Good job 👏
