Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) — Question 71

The Product Owner determines how many Product Backlog items the Development Team selects for a Sprint.

Answer options

• A. False.
• B. True, accordingly to what was committed to the stakeholders.
• C. True, but only after confirmation by the resource manager that the Team has enough capacity.
• D. True.
• E. False, the Scrum Master does that.
• F. False, capacity and commitment are the Project manager's responsibility.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the Development Team itself decides how many items to take into the Sprint during Sprint Planning, not the Product Owner. Options B, C, D, E, and F incorrectly attribute the decision-making power to the Product Owner, Scrum Master, or Project Manager, which is not how Scrum operates.
