An agile product team has been working for four sprints on features designed for the North American market.

The team has completed 60% of the planned features for the North American release. The VP of Product wants to finish the North American features before addressing other markets to avoid 'scope creep,' while the VP of Sales insists all three markets must launch simultaneously in six months to meet investor commitments. What should you recommend?
