A business analyst is embedded in a Scrum team. During Sprint Planning, the team realizes several Product Backlog Items lack sufficient acceptance criteria. Who is primarily responsible for resolving this before committing to the sprint?
Answer: The Product Owner
The Product Owner owns the Product Backlog and is responsible for ensuring items are adequately defined before sprint commitment.
In Agile BA practice, what is the primary purpose of a Definition of Ready (DoR) for a Product Backlog Item?
Answer: To ensure the item is sufficiently understood before sprint work begins
The Definition of Ready establishes criteria a backlog item must meet before the team can begin working on it in a sprint.
A BA notices that stakeholders keep requesting changes to items already accepted into the current sprint. What is the recommended Scrum approach to handle this?
Answer: Log the changes as new Product Backlog Items for a future sprint
In Scrum, new or changed requirements are added to the Product Backlog and prioritized for future sprints rather than disrupting the current sprint.
Which Scrum event provides the best opportunity for a BA to gather stakeholder feedback on working software increments?
Answer: Sprint Review
The Sprint Review is explicitly designed to inspect the increment and gather stakeholder feedback to adapt the Product Backlog.
As a BA, you discover that two high-priority backlog items have conflicting business rules that weren't caught during refinement. The sprint starts tomorrow. What should you do?
Answer: Collaborate with the Product Owner now to resolve the conflict before sprint planning
Resolving conflicting requirements before sprint planning ensures items meet the Definition of Ready and prevents mid-sprint rework.
In Scrum, which artifact directly reflects the work the Development Team commits to completing during a single sprint?
Answer: Sprint Backlog
The Sprint Backlog contains the selected Product Backlog Items plus the team's plan for delivering the sprint goal.
A BA is facilitating backlog refinement and notices the team's velocity has been inconsistent. How should this information influence refinement?
Answer: Use velocity trends to guide realistic estimates and sprint capacity planning
Historical velocity data helps teams size and select a realistic amount of work during refinement and sprint planning.
