AWhoever has the skills

BIndividual Team Members

CThere is no single owner of a Product Backlog item, the entire team owns the Sprint Backlog

DThe Product Owner

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

The Sprint Backlog is collectively owned by the Developers, not assigned to individuals. The Scrum Guide defines it as: 'The Sprint Backlog is a plan by and for the Developers... It is a highly visible, real-time picture of the work that the Developers plan to accomplish during the Sprint.' Self-organization means the Developers decide who does what, without fixed ownership of items.

A, B: Individual assignment isn't mandated; it's a team effort.

C: Correct---the Developers as a whole own it.

D: The Product Owner manages the Product Backlog, not the Sprint Backlog.

Exact Extract from Scrum Guide: 'The Sprint Backlog is a plan by and for the Developers. It is composed of the Sprint Goal (why), the set of Product Backlog items selected for the Sprint (what), as well as an actionable plan for delivering the Increment (how).' (Section: 'Sprint Backlog')

Thus, C is correct.

Nah, it’s definitely not D, the Product Owner doesn’t own it.

B seems right too, individual members should take responsibility.

Wait, how can there be no single owner? That seems odd.

I thought the Product Owner had more control over the backlog items, but maybe it’s different during the Sprint?

I remember a practice question that mentioned individual ownership, but it feels like it should be more collaborative.

I think the whole team is responsible for the Sprint Backlog, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the right way to phrase it.

I think the key here is understanding the difference between the Product Backlog and the Sprint Backlog. The Sprint Backlog is owned by the entire Scrum Team, not a single individual.

The Product Owner is responsible for the Product Backlog, but I don't think they assign ownership of the Sprint Backlog items. I'm leaning towards C as the best answer.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. I'll need to review the Scrum Guide to make sure I understand the roles and responsibilities around the Sprint Backlog.

I'm pretty sure the answer is C - the entire team owns the Sprint Backlog, not a single individual.

C is the way to go. There's no single owner of a Product Backlog item, the whole team is responsible for the Sprint Backlog.

Haha, I'm going to have to disagree with Elvera on this one. The team should definitely own the Sprint Backlog, not just individual members.

Actually, it's not just individual team members, the team as a whole owns the Sprint Backlog.

D seems like the right answer to me. The Product Owner is responsible for managing the Product Backlog, so they should assign ownership during the Sprint.
