Question

How should Product Backlog items be chosen when multiple Scrum Teams work from the same Product Backlog?

Options

  • AThe Scrum Team with the highest velocity pulls Product Backlog items first.
  • BThe Development Teams pull in work in agreement with the Product Owner.
  • CThe Product Owner should provide each team with its own Product Backlog.
  • DEach Scrum Team takes an equal numbers of items.
  • EThe Product Owner decides.

Explanation

When multiple Scrum Teams share a single Product Backlog, the Development Teams pull in work in agreement with the Product Owner. The Product Owner maintains a single, ordered backlog for the entire product; teams coordinate with the Product Owner to select items that align with the Sprint Goal and avoid duplication or dependency conflicts. Giving each team its own backlog (Option C) would fragment the product vision. Equal distribution (D) ignores team skills and item dependencies. Velocity-based pulling (A) and Product Owner dictating alone (E) both miss the collaborative nature intended.
