CompTIA Project+ (PK0-005) — Question 378

During a demonstration, the product owner asked the team to add new scope to the backlog. Which of the following should the Scrum master do NEXT?

Answer options

• A. Create a change request for the change advisory board.
• B. Work with the business analyst to document the new epic.
• C. Reject the change to prevent scope creep.
• D. Update the risk register and the work in the mitigation plan.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as it is essential to document new requirements accurately in order to keep the backlog updated. Option A is incorrect because a change request is not necessary in Scrum for adding items to the backlog. Option C is not viable since the Scrum framework encourages adapting to changes. Option D is also incorrect as updating the risk register is not the immediate next step after a scope change request.
