By informing members of the other teams to add their requests to the iteration backlog, the project manager ensures that all work is visible, prioritized, and managed in a way that aligns with the team’s capacity and project goals.

The best way for the additional requests in agile project is somehow adding to product backlog, not iteration backlog, and product owner would be the person who makes the decision with the requests. Team members should not do anything and just focus on what planned.

Selected Answer: C
C promotes collaboration, transparency, and effective prioritization across agile teams while ensuring that Team A can focus on their planned deliverables. D might ignore legitimate support needs from other teams and could strain inter-team relationships.

Iteration backlog is not a good choice for direct changes. If you want to add something into iteration backlog, you must consider removing some others.
