Who has the authority to make changes to the Sprint Backlog?

  1. The ScrumMaster only

  2. Developers and Product Owner

  3. Only the Product Owner

  4. The whole team only during retrospectives

The correct answer is: Developers and Product Owner

The authority to make changes to the Sprint Backlog resides with the Developers and the Product Owner. During the Sprint, the Developers have the responsibility to manage and adapt the work in the Sprint Backlog to achieve the Sprint Goal. They may add or remove items based on their capacity and progress while maintaining alignment with the Product Owner's vision. The Product Owner guides priorities and may clarify requirements but does not need to dictate every change. This collaborative approach emphasizes the Scrum framework's inherent values of teamwork and self-organization, allowing the team to respond to challenges and opportunities effectively throughout the Sprint.
