A worked example

A question from the bank with its answer and the reasoning behind it. Every practice question comes with an explanation like this one.

Which statement best describes the relationship between the Product Goal and the Product Backlog?

  • AThe Product Goal is the first item in the Product Backlog
  • BThe Product Goal is the objective the Product Backlog exists to fulfil, and gives the ordering its direction(correct answer)
  • CThe Product Goal is created once the Product Backlog is complete
  • DEach Sprint Goal aggregates into the Product Goal

Why

The Product Goal is the commitment attached to the Product Backlog: it describes the future state of the product and is what makes ordering decisions coherent rather than reactive. It is not an item in the backlog (A), a backlog is never complete (C), and Sprint Goals serve the Product Goal rather than summing to it (D).
