• Question 146:

  Which of the following is true about a Prioritized Product Backlog?

  A. A Prioritized Product Backlog should not have the most valuable User Story on top, because it could be risky.
  B. Greater value items, although potentially riskier, are given higher priority in a Prioritized Product Backlog.
  C. Uncertainty should be ruled out of the Risk-adjusted Prioritized Product Backlog.
  D. For a Sprint to succeed, User Stories picked for a Sprint should be interlinked with those selected for subsequent Sprints.
  B. Greater value items, although potentially riskier, are given higher priority in a Prioritized Product Backlog.

  ---

  Explanation

  The more uncertainty exists in a project, the riskier the project is. Therefore, it is important that riskier products in the Prioritized Product Backlog are given higher priority. Products carrying a higher level of risk will also require risk mitigation actions. When these risk mitigation actions are prioritized against the backlog, the result is a Risk Adjusted Product Backlog. Dealing with risks early in the project does not guarantee that the project will be successful, but it does enhance the team's ability to deal with risk.
