After this period, productivity will rise above the original productivity as desired. 43 43 * **Scope Adaption**: Stakeholders prioritize features with the highest return of investment (RoI) and remove features with lower RoI from the project scope. 44 44 45 -**Personnel Increase**: An alternative to the above strategies may be to invest more human resources in the project. Ideally, neither scope nor schedule need be adjusted. Note that this will result in a short-term drop in productivity, as the new team members require the attention of the original team members (explanations, answering questions, joint familiarization with the project, etc.), which distracts them from their actual work. After this period, productivity will rise above the original productivity as desired. 46 - 47 -**Never Sacrifice Quality**: Decreasing code quality by omitting testing or refactoring, with the intention of saving time, actually slows development and adds to technical debt. This is not an option at all. 46 +Decreasing code quality by omitting testing or refactoring is not an option, as it actually slows development and adds to technical debt.
