Answering: “True or False: During the Sprint Review it is up to the stakeholders to reorder the Product Backlog.”

False. Stakeholders do not reorder the Product Backlog during the Sprint Review. They give feedback, and the Product Owner remains accountable for ordering.

Exam Question

True or False: During the Sprint Review it is up to the stakeholders to reorder the Product Backlog.

• A. True
• B. False

Correct Answer

B. False

Why This Is the Correct Answer

At the Sprint Review, the Scrum Guide says the Scrum Team presents its results to key stakeholders and they discuss progress toward the Product Goal. It adds that “The Product Backlog may also be adjusted to meet new opportunities.” Adjusting is a collaborative outcome, but the accountability for ordering stays with the Product Owner, who is one person, not a committee. Stakeholders who want a different order can try to convince the Product Owner. That keeps decisions fast and accountability clear while still using stakeholder input.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

A. True This hands the Product Owner’s accountability to stakeholders. They influence the order but do not set it.

Exam Tip

Separate input from decision rights. Stakeholders give input at the Sprint Review, and the Product Owner decides the order.

Key Takeaways

• Stakeholders give feedback at the Sprint Review.
• The Product Owner orders the Product Backlog.
• Influence on the backlog goes through the Product Owner.
