How should Product Backlog items be chosen when multiple Scrum Teams work from the same

Product Backlog?

(choose the best answer)

AThe Scrum Teams choose the Weighted Shortest Job First.

BThe Developers pull work in agreement with the Product Owner.

CEach Scrum Team takes an equal number of items.

DThe Scrum Team with the highest velocity pulls Product Backlog items first.

EThe Product Owner should provide each team with its own Product Backlog.

Suggested Answer: B

When multiple Scrum Teams work from the same Product Backlog, they should choose the Product Backlog items that they can deliver as part of an Integrated Increment, which is the combined work of all the Scrum Teams that meets the Nexus Sprint Goal 11. The Developers, who are the people in the Scrum Teams who are accountable for creating and delivering the Increment, should pull work in agreement with the Product Owner, who is the person who is accountable for maximizing the value of the product and the work performed and integrated by the Scrum Teams 11. The Developers and the Product Owner should collaborate to select the Product Backlog items that are most valuable, feasible, and aligned with the Nexus Sprint Goal 2233. Therefore, statement B is the correct answer.

Statement A is incorrect because it implies that the Scrum Teams choose the Weighted Shortest Job First, which is a prioritization technique that ranks Product Backlog items based on their value and cost 44. However, the Scrum Guide does not prescribe any specific technique for ordering the Product Backlog, and the Product Owner is the sole person responsible for managing the Product Backlog [5]. Statement C is incorrect because it suggests that each Scrum Team takes an equal number of items, which may not reflect the value, complexity, or dependencies of the items 1122. Statement D is incorrect because it assumes that the Scrum Team with the highest velocity pulls Product Backlog items first, which may not be the best way to optimize the value delivery and integration across the Nexus 1122. Statement E is incorrect because it proposes that the Product Owner should provide each team with its own Product Backlog, which would create confusion, inconsistency, and duplication of work. Having multiple Product Backlogs would also undermine the transparency and alignment that are essential for scaling Scrum 1122.

D could lead to imbalances between teams, not a good idea.

Surprised E is even an option, that seems counterproductive!

Pilar 11 months ago

C sounds fair, but it might not be efficient.

Leanora 11 months ago

I think A makes more sense for prioritization.

Nobuko 11 months ago

B is the best choice, totally agree!

Herman 12 months ago

I vaguely recall that teams shouldn't just split items equally, so option C doesn't seem right to me either.

Blythe 12 months ago

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think giving each team their own backlog might lead to misalignment, so option E feels wrong.

Royal 12 months ago

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like Weighted Shortest Job First could be a good method too. It seems efficient.

I remember discussing how the Product Owner plays a crucial role in prioritizing the backlog, so I think option B makes sense.

Francis 1 year ago

I'm pretty confident that the correct answer is B. The Developers need to collaborate with the Product Owner to decide how to pull work from the shared Product Backlog.

Viki 1 year ago

I'm leaning towards option B. The Developers should work with the Product Owner to determine the best way to pull work, rather than just dividing it up equally or by velocity.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this. I know the Scrum framework emphasizes collaboration, but I'm not sure how that applies when multiple teams are involved.

This seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think through the Scrum principles carefully to figure out the best approach.

Carlene 1 year ago

Okay, I think I've got this. The key is to remember that the Product Backlog belongs to the Product Owner, not the individual teams. The teams should work together with the PO to pull items.

Okay, let me think this through. The patch addresses certain vulnerabilities, so the rules associated with those should no longer be needed. I'll need to compare the patch details to the applied rules to identify the ones I can safely disable.

This seems like a straightforward question about why SLAs in public clouds are standardized. I think the key is to focus on the standardization aspect and why that might be the case for public cloud services.

I'm pretty confident the 7250QX supports reversible airflow, but I'm not sure about the other series. I'll mark that one and then try to eliminate the other options.

Izetta 2 years ago

Agreed, B seems best because all teams working together under PO's guidance.

Norah 2 years ago

E seemed logical at first, but splitting the Backlog feels inefficient.

Shelia 2 years ago

I thought D was a good option, higher velocity taking priority.

Lasandra 2 years ago

I went with B. Makes more sense for collaboration with the Product Owner.

Izetta 2 years ago

Yeah, it was tricky. What do you think? B sounds right to me.

Hey, got stumped on that Product Backlog item question.
