Question 1
What should a Product Owner do when two valuable Product Backlog items depend on the same limited
specialist?
- AOption A:
Consider value, urgency, dependency risk, and options for reducing the specialist constraint
- BOption B:
Place both items in the same Sprint regardless of capacity
- COption C:
Allow the specialist to privately decide the product priority
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
A specialist constraint affects sequencing, risk, and the Scrum Team’s ability to deliver. The Product
Owner should consider the relative value and urgency of the items while collaborating with Developers to
explore ways to reduce dependency, such as knowledge sharing, pairing, automation, simplification, or a
different solution. Placing both items in a Sprint without regard to capacity creates an unreliable plan and
can undermine the Sprint Goal. The specialist may provide important technical information but should
not privately determine product priority. Removing both items would ignore their value rather than
address the constraint. Effective ordering combines product economics with realistic delivery knowledge
and organizational improvemen
Question 2
Five Scrum Teams are working on the same commercial product. Each team currently has a separate
Product Backlog. What change best supports Scrum?
- AOption A:
Keep separate backlogs but give them identical priorities
- BOption B:
Create a separate Product Goal for every technical component
- COption C:
Allow each Scrum Master to approve backlog changes
- DOption D:
Use one Product Goal, one Product Backlog, and one accountable Product Owner
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
When multiple Scrum Teams work on the same product, they should share the same Product Goal,
Product Backlog, and Product Owner. This creates transparency around the product’s direction and
ensures that work is ordered based on overall product value rather than local team optimization.
Separate backlogs commonly lead to duplicated work, conflicting priorities, hidden dependencies, and
component-focused delivery. Supporting Product Owners or area specialists may assist with discovery,
refinement, and stakeholder communication, but the Product Owner accountability remains with one
person. Scrum Masters support effectiveness and Scrum adoption; they do not approve Product Backlog
changes. The teams should also comply with the same Definition of Done so that their combined work
creates one integrated, usable Increment.
