Product Value and Product Backlog Management

Introduction

This is the first lesson of the focus area Managing Products with Agility in the PSM I assessment. Earlier lessons covered the Scrum framework and the people who use it. This lesson looks at what the Scrum Team is actually trying to achieve: delivering value through a well-managed Product Backlog, in close collaboration with stakeholders and customers. Scrum.org does not publish the number of questions per focus area, but scenario questions on ordering, refinement, stakeholder pressure and "who decides?" appear regularly. The reference text is the 2020 Scrum Guide (https://scrumguides.org/scrum-guide.html (opens in a new tab)), together with the Scrum.org Professional Scrum Master suggested reading.
