Question #: 21
Topic #: 2
[All PSPO-I Questions]

Who determines how many Product Backlog items the Developers select for a Sprint?

(choose the best answer)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

The Scrum Guide states that ''the Increment is the sum of all the Product Backlog items completed during a Sprint and the value of the increments of all previous Sprints''. It also states that ''at the end of a Sprint, the new Increment must be 'Done', which means it must be in useable condition and meet the Scrum Team's definition of 'Done'''. Therefore, the Scrum Team must deliver a valuable, useful Increment that meets the Definition of Done at the end of a Sprint. The other options are not acceptable, as they do not meet the criteria of being valuable, useful, or done.

I feel like the Scrum Team collectively decides, but I could be mixing it up with another question about roles in Scrum.

I’m a bit confused because I thought the Product Owner prioritized the items, but does that mean they also decide how many?

I think the Developers decide how many items to take on, but I'm not completely sure. It might also involve the whole Scrum Team.

Wait, I think the Product Owner has a say in how many items are selected for the Sprint. The Developers don't just decide on their own. I need to double-check the Scrum framework to be sure.

The Developers select the Product Backlog items for the Sprint, right? That's one of their core responsibilities in Scrum. I'm pretty confident that's the right answer.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know the Scrum Team is involved in Sprint Planning, but I can't quite recall who determines the number of Product Backlog items. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Ah, I remember now - it's the Scrum Team as a whole that determines the number of Product Backlog items for the Sprint during Sprint Planning. The Developers, Product Owner, and Scrum Master all collaborate on this.
