Who is responsible for the Sprint Backlog?
(choose the best answer)
Detailed Explanation & Reference from Scrum
Scrum Guide Reference:
'The Sprint Backlog is composed of the Sprint Goal (why), the set of Product Backlog items selected for the Sprint (what), as well as an actionable plan for delivering the Increment (how).'
'The Sprint Backlog is a plan by and for the Developers. It is a highly visible, real-time picture of the work that the Developers plan to accomplish during the Sprint in order to achieve the Sprint Goal.'
Why is 'C. The Developers' Correct?
The Sprint Backlog is owned and managed by the Developers because they are the ones responsible for planning and executing the work.
The Developers update and modify the Sprint Backlog as needed during the Sprint.
The Scrum Team collaborates during Sprint Planning to define the Sprint Backlog, but the ongoing responsibility for managing it lies only with the Developers.
This allows the team to self-manage and adapt as work progresses.
Incorrect Answers with Explanations
A. The Scrum Team
Why is this Incorrect?
While the Scrum Team (Scrum Master, Product Owner, and Developers) collaborates during Sprint Planning, only the Developers are responsible for the Sprint Backlog.
The Scrum Master does not manage the Sprint Backlog, and the Product Owner does not modify it once the Sprint starts.
B. The Scrum Master
Why is this Incorrect?
The Scrum Master facilitates the process but does not own or manage the Sprint Backlog.
The Scrum Master helps the team understand Scrum practices and remove impediments, but they do not decide or change the Sprint Backlog.
D. The Product Owner
Why is this Incorrect?
The Product Owner is responsible for the Product Backlog, NOT the Sprint Backlog.
Once a Sprint starts, the Product Owner cannot modify the Sprint Backlog---only the Developers can update it as they learn more.
What does n mean tor a scrum Team to be cross-function at? (choose the best answer)
According to the Scrum Guide, a Scrum Team is cross-functional if it includes skilled individuals who together have all the skills necessary to create value each Sprint. This means that the Developers can work on any aspect of the product without depending on others outside the team. The other options are not valid descriptions of cross-functionality, as they either imply that the Developers work in silos or rely on external people (such as business analysts, architects, testers, or separate teams).
How should a Development Team deal with non-functional requirements?
The correct answer is A, because the Scrum Guide states that ''the definition of 'Done' is a formal description of the state of the Increment when it meets the quality measures required for the product.'' Therefore, non-functional requirements should be part of the definition of 'Done' and ensure every Increment meets them.
A Scrum Master is essentially the same thing as a traditional PM (Project Manager).
The correct answer is B, because a Scrum Master is not the same thing as a traditional PM (Project Manager). The Scrum Guide states that ''the Scrum Master is responsible for promoting and supporting Scrum as defined in the Scrum Guide. Scrum Masters do this by helping everyone understand Scrum theory, practices, rules, and values.'' Therefore, a Scrum Master is not a manager, but a servant-leader and a coach for the Scrum Team and the organization.
A product Increment must be released to production at the end of each Sprint.
The correct answer is B, because a product Increment does not have to be released to production at the end of each Sprint. The Scrum Guide 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'. An increment is a body of inspectable, done work that supports empiricism at the end of the Sprint. The increment is a step toward a vision or goal.'' Therefore, a product Increment must be potentially releasable, but the decision to release it is up to the Product Owner.
