ScrumStudy Exam SMC Topic 1 Question 74 Discussion

Actual exam question for ScrumStudy's SMC exam

Question #: 74
Topic #: 1

[All SMC Questions]

Which of the following is true about a Prioritized Product Backlog?

AA Prioritized Product Backlog should not have the most valuable User Story on top, because it could be
risky.

BGreater value items, although potentially riskier, are given higher priority in a Prioritized Product Backlog.

CUncertainty should be ruled out of the Risk-adjusted Prioritized Product Backlog.

DFor a Sprint to succeed, User Stories picked for a Sprint should be interlinked with those selected for
subsequent Sprints.
:
The more uncertainty exists in a project, the riskier the project is. Therefore, it is important that riskier products
in the Prioritized Product Backlog are given higher priority. Products carrying a higher level of risk will also
require risk mitigation actions. When these risk mitigation actions are prioritized against the backlog, the result
is a Risk Adjusted Product Backlog. Dealing with risks early in the project does not guarantee that the project
will be successful, but it does enhance the team's ability to deal with risk.

Haha, I love how this question is all about risk management. It's like a high-stakes game of Tetris, but with user stories instead of blocks!

I agree with Kallie. Dealing with uncertainty and risk upfront is key to a successful project. Plus, it's all about prioritizing value, not just minimizing risk.

I'm not sure about D though. I think User Stories for a Sprint should be independent of those for subsequent Sprints to ensure flexibility and adaptability.

I'm not sure about that. Wouldn't it be better to start with the less risky items and build up to the more uncertain ones? Jumping straight into the riskier stuff seems a bit like a gamble.

Hmm, I think option B is the correct answer. It makes sense to prioritize riskier items, as long as they have greater value. Tackling the high-risk, high-reward items first is a smart approach.

I agree with Maybelle. Having a Risk-adjusted Prioritized Product Backlog can help the team manage risks effectively and increase the chances of project success.

I think B is true because prioritizing higher value items, even if they are riskier, can help the team address uncertainties early on.
