 |
| above sprint burndown chart you can see that the team had pulled in too much work initially and still had nearly 600
 |
| hours to go on 5/16/02. In this case the <a class="elementLink" href="./../../Scrum/roles/product_owner_10E7BD3.html"
 |
| guid="_QcnRMOF5Edyp34pwdTOSVQ">Product Owner</a> was consulted and it was agreed to remove some work from the sprint,
 |
| which resulted in the big drop on the chart between 5/16/02 (619 hours) and 5/17/02. From there the team made good
 |
| consistent progress and finished the sprint successfully.
