Scrum Exam PSM-II Topic 3 Question 76 Discussion

Actual exam question for Scrum's PSM-II exam
Question #: 76
Topic #: 3
[All PSM-II Questions]

How should requirements be distributed when multiple Scrum Teams work on the same product?

(choose the best answer)

A. They must be selected from one Product Backlog in such a way that each Scrum Team has an equal volume of requirements per Sprint.

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

When multiple Scrum Teams work on the same product, they share one Product Backlog that contains all the requirements for the product. The Product Owner is responsible for ordering and refining the Product Backlog items, but does not assign them to specific teams. Instead, the Scrum Teams pull in work from the Product Backlog in agreement with the Product Owner and the other teams, based on their capacity, skills, dependencies, and Sprint Goals. This way, the Scrum Teams can self-organize and collaborate to deliver a coherent and valuable product Increment.

I see your point, Dulce. But I think D could also work, where the Product Owner provides each team with its own Product Backlog.

I disagree, I believe the answer is B. Teams should pull in work from a shared Product Backlog in agreement with the Product Owner.

I'm just picturing the Product Owner throwing darts at a backlog to decide who gets what. That's not how this works, people!

Option D is a recipe for disaster. The Product Owner shouldn't be playing favorites - they need to ensure the whole product is being developed effectively.

C? Really? That's just asking for trouble. The team with the highest velocity should be supporting the others, not hogging all the work.

Option A sounds good, but it might be too rigid. Different teams have different strengths, so a more flexible approach like B is probably better.
