Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) — Question 15

How should Product Backlog items be chosen when multiple Scrum Teams work from the same Product Backlog?

Answer options

• A. The Scrum Team with the highest velocity pulls Product Backlog items first.
• B. The Development Teams pull in work in agreement with the Product Owner.
• C. The Product Owner should provide each team with its own Product Backlog.
• D. Each Scrum Team takes an equal numbers of items.
• E. The Product Owner decides.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because it emphasizes collaboration between the Development Teams and the Product Owner to ensure that the most valuable work is prioritized. Option A is incorrect as velocity should not dictate item selection, while C suggests separate backlogs, which is not ideal for shared goals. Option D is not effective as it ignores prioritization, and E places all decision-making power with the Product Owner, which undermines team input.
