Narrative:
Agents had trouble retracting new jetway properly. Decided to taxi aircraft out after jetway had properly moved as far as possible from aircraft. Used 2 ground guides on left wings, closest to jetway. Moved aircraft a few ft and signaled to stop. Applied brakes and felt aircraft shudder. Applied brakes to full extent and brought aircraft to stop. Ground crew brought up airstairs and deplaned passenger. No injuries to passenger on crew.
