Question
Which of the following are criteria to order Product Backlog items? (choose all that apply)
Options
- AValue of Product Backlog items.
- BDependencies between Product Backlog items.
- CDependencies to other products.
- DThe availability of the Scrum Master.
- EAll of the above.
Explanation
A, B, and C are the correct answers.
The Product Owner is responsible for ordering the Product Backlog, and valid criteria include the value a backlog item delivers (A), internal dependencies between items that may force one to precede another (B), and external dependencies on other products or teams that constrain sequencing (C). These three factors directly influence when an item should be worked on to maximize value and minimize blockers.
D is wrong because the Scrum Master's availability is irrelevant to backlog ordering - the Scrum Master serves the process, not the sequencing of work. E is wrong because it includes D.
Memory tip: Think "What drives WHEN we build something?" - Value, internal Dependencies, external Dependencies. The Scrum Master's schedule never drives what gets built or when; that's the Product Owner's domain.
