Question 3

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

AA Prioritized Product Backlog should not have the most valuable User Story on top, because it could be
risky.

BGreater value items, although potentially riskier, are given higher priority in a Prioritized Product Backlog.

CUncertainty should be ruled out of the Risk-adjusted Prioritized Product Backlog.

DFor a Sprint to succeed, User Stories picked for a Sprint should be interlinked with those selected for
subsequent Sprints.
:
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.
