EXIN Agile Scrum Master — Question 21

As items are developed and removed from the top of the Product Backlog, the Product Backlog iceberg develops a flat spot at the top and loses its shape.
What would be a necessary measure to counter this effect?

Answer options

• A. Creating a chart of the number of Product Backlog Items
• B. Grooming the Product Backlog
• C. Prioritizing the Product Backlog
• D. Using an improvement Backlog

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Grooming the Product Backlog, or refining it, ensures that the items are organized, prioritized, and up-to-date, which prevents the iceberg from losing its shape. The other options, while useful in their own ways, do not directly address the structural integrity of the Product Backlog as effectively as grooming does.
