C) The entire team should discuss and prioritize the backlog factoring in stakeholder input. Sounds like a recipe for a long, drawn-out meeting, but it's the right approach.

I recall that we should prioritize based on team input and stakeholder feedback, so I guess C aligns with that approach.

I think C is the way to go. Gotta make sure the whole team has a voice in prioritizing the backlog, but also can't ignore what the stakeholders want.

I'm a bit confused on this one. Do we really need the change management team involved? Seems like that could just add more complexity.

I remember we discussed the importance of stakeholder engagement in our agile training, but I'm not sure if it's best to let them decide everything.

Okay, I've got this. The key is to involve the whole team and get their buy-in on the priorities. Can't just let the stakeholders decide everything.
