QuestionQ404

Delivery

An agile team is developing a new product and is behind on its deliverables for the quarterly release. The team identifies new issues during every iteration. They begin working on the critical issues and sometimes forget to update the backlog. This causes confusion, delays, and occasional rework.

How should the agile practitioner increase the team’s productivity?

  • A Work with the team to ensure that both the product and iteration backlogs are up to date.
  • B Work with the team to ensure that the release backlog is in sync with the product backlog.
  • C Work with the team to ensure that the iteration and release backlogs are kept up to date.
  • D Work with the team to ensure that the product backlog is always kept up to date.
Explanation

The product backlog is the single, evolving source of work needed to improve the product, and the iteration (Sprint) backlog is the visible, real-time plan for the work being performed during the iteration. Updating both when new critical issues are found keeps current work and future priorities transparent, enabling coordinated planning and reducing omissions and rework.
