Exam PMI-ACP topic 1 question 40 discussion

A is the right answer as it is the most relevant to the question, other three options are not applicable.

C for sure

C is the Correct Answer

Option A is not the best answer, as the team should not simply begin working on an item in the backlog without consulting with the Scrum Master or Product Owner. Option B and C are also not the best answers, as the Scrum Master or Product Owner should not unilaterally select an item from the backlog for the team to work on without collaboration and agreement with the team.

Vote C

A - wrong. The team is self-organizing and decides independently within the Sprint backlog C - correct. The PO is accountable for PB managing. So the team must collaborate with PO and work on an PB item (prioritized by the PO)

C is correct. Only PO can guide the team on what to do next. This is not the sprint backlog, but the Product backlog. Scope negotiation is always done with PO, even if the sprint goal has been met. Scrum Master cannot help here, besides facilitating a meeting between Dev Team and the Product owner. Scrum master does not prioritize use stories, but only help Product Owner in prioritization if needed.

answer is C

A sure

A is correct. The backlog would have already been groomed and prioritized by the team and the PO. They just have to select something to work on.

The question here is who decides on which item they should work next. (B) and (D) are nonsense. So the question is whether it is (A) or (C). I think the decision should be made together with the PO as he determines the prioritization. But he should not decide alone as he does not know whether this item could be finished within this iteration. But "Decide with the PO" is no option here.
