    <p>There are some subtle differences to understand with Scrum.</p> <p>In Sprint Planning, the product owner gives the next highest valued requirements to the team that he/she wants delivered based on the teams velocity. The PO explains the requirements and the team question the PO on specifics. </p> <p>Note: This should not be the first time the team is seeing the requirement as they should have seen it before in grooming sessions.</p> <p>The team discuss their approach, do their designs and create a heap of tasks to do and agree to the forecast. The team produce a sprint backlog, sprint goal and start working.</p> <p>No-one can change the core requirement the team is working on; not even the team. Only the PO has the right to terminate work if he/she sees no value in continuing with it. There is a fine line here between bad planning on the PO's side versus clarification of the requirement.</p> <p>The requirement is not a contract, and the team should have the core just to what has to be done. Details should gathered and work slightly altered to get the requirement done. The team can fully change the tasks they are working on, add more tasks or remove tasks to help communicate and collaborate; only as long it is to deliver the requested requirement. Clarification of details is totally acceptable. </p> <p>The challenge most teams have is where clarification, changes the meaning of the requirement. When this happens, you should nip the issue in the bud in a retrospective and adapt to the way you write requirements; thus removing ambiguity. It simply means you need to spend more time grooming.</p> <p><strong>To answer your question.</strong> Please if the PO and the team feel it makes sense to alter something ... do it. However, this should be more the exception than the rule. If it is occurring all the time; your grooming is bad. There is nothing wrong with clarifying acceptance criteria and enhancing quality in Sprint.</p>
