QuestionQ441

Product

A product owner adds user stories to the backlog every day. The stories are vague requests, and the product owner expects their details to be clarified when the team works through the prioritization list.

How should team members address this challenge so that the prioritization meeting does not turn into a brainstorming session?

  • A Ask the product owners to invite a subject matter expert (SME) to the meeting so the prioritization meeting will be more effective.
  • B Ask the product owner to review their items with the product owner’s teammates before adding user stories to the backlog.
  • C Ask the product owner to schedule a meeting with a subject matter expert (SME) to review items before adding user stories to the backlog.
  • D Ask the product owner to review the stories with the scrum master before the prioritization meeting takes place.
Explanation

Product Backlog refinement is an ongoing activity that increases the transparency and precision of backlog items by adding necessary detail. Clarifying requests with the appropriate subject-matter expert before the items are added prevents the prioritization discussion from being consumed by requirement discovery and lets it focus on ordering the work.
