  1. I also thought that C is correct but B is marked. I also googled that question and found several equal answers. This is an example, where I don’t know how to answer in the exam.

  2. C is the correct answer.

    page 8 in Guide :
    The Scrum Master serves the Product Owner in several ways, including:
    • Ensuring the Product Owner knows how to arrange the Product Backlog to maximize value;

  3. C is the correct answer, the scrum master heps PO , the product backlog is the responsability of the PO not the dev team

  5. I don’t agree that C Is the best answer. ( i had answered C but i think that is wrong
    Let’s take a look on the scrum guide and especially the section about refinement. Reordering the backlog items is in fact and action of refinement, so : (i would underline the “and order to items”
    1- “Product Backlog refinement is the act of adding detail, estimates, and order to items in the Product Backlog”
    2-“his is an ongoing process in which the Product Owner and the Development Team collaborate on the details of Product Backlog items.”

    1. That would lead you to believe D is the correct answer, but it isn’t. The purpose of the ordering is to drive business value, not identify which ones can be done the fastest.

  6. Totally agree that C is the correct answer. I had this question in PSM exam and got 100% so I’m totally sure of myself here

    1. Dear Maria
      How much that dump useful in PSM 1 certification exam , how many question you found from this dump as a proximate ?

  7. What about the Scrum Guide about priorities and it says: The Product Owner may do the above work, or have the Development Team do it. However, the Product Owner remains accountable. What fo you think?

  8. PBL is owned by PO and never the DEvelopment team works on prioritization of PBL. The development team in grooming sessions works on sprint backlog prioritization.

  9. Correct Answer is C… Product owner should always be in charge of product backlog ordering. No scrum master would suggest that the dev team does that…
