Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 171

A Scrum team has a product backlog and a sprint backlog. Which of the following is a correct statement related to these artifacts?

Answer options

• A. The sprint backlog contains items to be completed during the current sprint.
• B. The sprint backlog contains the list of items prioritized by the product owner.
• C. The product backlog does not contain a prioritized list of requirements.
• D. The product backlog is a subset of the sprint backlog.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the sprint backlog specifically includes the tasks that need to be accomplished in the current sprint. Option B is incorrect because the sprint backlog is composed of items selected from the product backlog, not a list prioritized by the product owner. Option C is false as the product backlog is indeed a prioritized list of requirements. Option D is incorrect because the product backlog is not a subset of the sprint backlog; instead, the sprint backlog is derived from the product backlog.
