Professional Scrum Master II (PSM II) — Question 135

How should multiple Scrum Teams, working from the same Product Backlog, select the Product Backlog items their teams plan to work on?

Answer options

• A. The Product Owner will present the work and the Development Teams will select the items they will work on.
• B. The Product Owner creates separate Product Backlogs for each Development Team.
• C. Each Scrum Team would select an equal number of items.
• D. The Product Owner assigns the work to each team.
• E. The Scrum Team with the highest productivity will select the items first.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because it allows the Development Teams to choose items based on their capacity and expertise, while the Product Owner ensures that the most valuable work is presented. Options B, C, D, and E do not promote team autonomy or flexibility in selecting their work from a unified backlog.
