A stakeholder asks the Product Owner to reorder the Product Backlog. What should the Product Owner do?
Answer: Consider the input but retain accountability for ordering
The Product Owner may take input from many sources but remains solely accountable for ordering the Product Backlog.
Midway through a Sprint, the Developers realize they need more work to meet the Sprint Goal. What can they do?
Answer: Add or remove work in the Sprint Backlog as long as the Sprint Goal stays intact
Scope may be clarified and renegotiated with the Product Owner as more is learned, as long as the Sprint Goal is not endangered.
The Product Goal changes significantly. What is the impact on the Sprint in progress?
Answer: The Sprint may continue, but a Sprint becomes obsolete only if its goal is no longer valid, allowing cancellation
A Sprint can be cancelled if its Sprint Goal becomes obsolete, a decision only the Product Owner can make.
A team has two different Definitions of Done for two products. Is this acceptable?
Answer: Yes, each product can have a Definition of Done appropriate to it
A Definition of Done is appropriate to the product, so different products may have different definitions of quality.
If the Sprint Goal is achieved but not all selected Product Backlog items are Done, what happens?
Answer: The Sprint can still be successful; incomplete items return to the Product Backlog
Achieving the Sprint Goal can mean success even if some items are incomplete; unfinished items go back to the Product Backlog.
How does the Product Goal relate to individual Sprint Goals over time?
Answer: The Scrum Team fulfills one Product Goal through a series of Sprint Goals
The Scrum Team must fulfill or abandon one Product Goal before taking on the next, progressing through successive Sprint Goals.
What ensures that the Sprint Backlog provides enough detail for the Developers to inspect progress at the Daily Scrum?
Answer: It is updated to reflect a real-time picture of the work toward the Sprint Goal
The Sprint Backlog is a real-time, sufficiently detailed picture so Developers can inspect progress at the Daily Scrum.
