Question

Options

• ACancel these user stones and remove them from the backlog.
• BMove these user stones to the button of the backlog.
• CReview these user stones in the backlog at the next sprint retrospective.

• A
  12% (6)
• B
  6% (3)
• C
  82% (40)

Explanation

In Agile project management, user stories should never be unilaterally removed or deprioritized without proper team review and stakeholder alignment. Even if a BA identifies user stories that appear obsolete during a backlog refinement session, the appropriate next step is to bring them to the team for a formal review-which in Agile happens at the sprint retrospective. Canceling them outright (A) bypasses stakeholder input and could eliminate valuable work. Moving them to the bottom of the backlog (B) is an informal workaround that doesn't address or document the decision. Reviewing them at the next sprint retrospective (C) ensures the full team evaluates whether those stories are truly no longer needed before any action is taken, maintaining transparency and collaboration.
