True or False: During the Sprint Review the stakeholder's role is to reorder the Product Backlog.

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

During the Sprint Review, the stakeholder's role is not to reorder the Product Backlog, but rather to provide feedback and suggestions on the product and the process. Therefore, the answer is false because:

The Sprint Review is an informal meeting, not a status meeting, and the presentation of the Increment is intended to elicit feedback and foster collaboration. The stakeholders are invited to attend the Sprint Review as observers, participants, or customers, and they can share their opinions, ideas, or requests regarding the product and its features, functionality, quality, value, etc.

The ordering of the Product Backlog is the sole responsibility of the Product Owner. They order Product Backlog items to best achieve goals and missions. The Product Owner may consider the feedback and suggestions from the stakeholders, as well as other factors such as dependencies, risks, costs, etc., when ordering the Product Backlog. However, they are not obliged to follow or implement them.

The Product Backlog is not a fixed or final list of requirements, but rather an emergent and dynamic artifact that represents all the possible changes to the product. The Product Owner is accountable for effective Product Backlog management, which includes refining, communicating, and optimizing the Product Backlog items. The Product Owner may update the Product Backlog at any time, not only during the Sprint Review.

Scrum Guide 2020, page 11: ''The Product Owner is accountable for effective Product Backlog management, which includes ... ordering Product Backlog items; and ensuring that the Product Backlog is transparent, visible and understood.''

I think the stakeholders can provide feedback during the Sprint Review, but I'm not sure if they actually reorder the Product Backlog.

I thought the Sprint Review was more about demonstrating the work done, not about reordering the backlog. So, I would say False.

I feel like stakeholders influence the backlog, but I don't recall them having the authority to reorder it themselves.

I remember a practice question that said the Product Owner is responsible for the backlog, so I lean towards False.
