Question
Who is allowed to make changes in the Product Backlog? Select two options.
Options
- AThe Development Team, but with permission of the Product Owner
- BThe Scrum Master
- CThe Key Stakeholders
- DThe Product Owner
- EAnyone
Explanation
The Product Owner (D) is accountable for the Product Backlog — they can add, remove, reorder, and refine items at any time. The Development Team (A) may also make changes, such as adding technical tasks or updating effort estimates, but only with the Product Owner's knowledge and consent, as the PO retains ultimate ownership. The Scrum Master (B) does not own or directly modify the backlog. Key Stakeholders (C) may influence priorities by communicating with the Product Owner, but cannot change the backlog directly. 'Anyone' (E) is too broad and undermines the PO's accountability.
