Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) — Question 2

What is the key concern when multiple Development Teams are working from the same Product Backlog?

Answer options

• A. Minimizing dependencies between teams.
• B. Clear definition of requirements.
• C. Meeting original scope projections.
• D. Making sure there's enough work for everyone on every team.
• E. Maximizing velocity.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The main concern when multiple Development Teams share a Product Backlog is minimizing dependencies between the teams to ensure they can work independently and efficiently. While clear requirements and scope projections are important, they do not address the interteam dependency challenge directly. Ensuring enough work for all teams or maximizing velocity are also secondary to the issue of dependencies.
