Scrum PSM-I Exam - Topic 2 Question 92 Discussion

Actual exam question for Scrum's PSM-I exam
Question #: 92
Topic #: 2
[All PSM-I Questions]

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

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The correct answer is A, because the Product Owner does not determine how many Product Backlog items the Development Team selects for a Sprint. The Scrum Guide states that ''the number of items selected from the Product Backlog for the Sprint is solely up to the Development Team. Only the Development Team can assess what it can accomplish over the upcoming Sprint.'' Therefore, the Development Team is responsible for choosing the scope of work for a Sprint.

Wait, I thought the Scrum Master had a say in that too?

I thought the Product Owner prioritized the backlog, but the team ultimately decides what they can commit to for the Sprint.

I feel like the answer is D, but I also recall something about the Scrum Master being involved in the process.

I remember a practice question where it mentioned the Development Team's capacity being a factor, so maybe it's not just the Product Owner.

I think the Product Owner does have a say in how many items are selected, but I'm not sure if they decide alone.

I'm pretty sure the answer is that the Development Team selects the items for the Sprint, not the Product Owner. The Product Owner is responsible for the overall Product Backlog, but the Development Team decides what they can commit to for each Sprint.

The question is a bit tricky. I know the Scrum roles and responsibilities, but I'm not 100% sure about the specifics of how the Sprint Backlog is determined. I'll review my notes and try to reason through this step-by-step.

Okay, I think I've got this. The Product Owner determines the Product Backlog, but the Development Team selects the items for the Sprint Backlog based on their capacity and commitment to the stakeholders. I'll mark that as my answer.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure here. I know the Product Owner is responsible for the Product Backlog, but I can't remember if they determine the Sprint Backlog. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I'm pretty confident about this one. The Scrum Guide is clear that the Development Team selects the items for the Sprint, not the Product Owner.
