Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) — Question 34

Which best describes the Product Backlog?

Answer options

• A. It is allowed to grow and change as more is learned about the product and its customers.
• B. It provides just enough information to enable a Scrum team to start the design phase of a product.
• C. It contains all foreseeable tasks and requirements from which the Scrum team can develop and maintain a complete project plan.
• D. It is baselined to follow change management processes.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A, highlights that the Product Backlog is a dynamic entity that adapts as new information is obtained. Options B and C are incorrect because they imply a static nature or completeness that contradicts the evolving aspect of the backlog. Option D is also wrong as it suggests a rigid process that does not align with the flexible nature of the Product Backlog.
