You are a Product owner and you heard a regulatory change which does not directly impact your product, but that opened a new avenue of opportunity to your product. Whoever adapts first will gain the market share. You are just mid-way of your existing sprint, but every day counts. What do you do?
As a product owner, maximize the product value is always important and also time to market is critical. So, if the requirement is such that it may create new opportunity or help in gaining the market share for first mover (such as it happened for fintech companies like Paytm in India during demonetization announced by government in 2016), the product owner should act on it. I will validate the current sprint status and evaluate if the new change value is more than the current Sprint goal, I can certainly go for Sprint cancellation and get the new feature prioritised.
