The Product Backlog is managed solely by the Product Owner, not stakeholders. The Scrum Guide
explains: "The Sprint Review is a working session... The Product Owner discusses the Product Backlog
as it stands." Stakeholders provide feedback during the Sprint Review, which the Product Owner may
use to adjust priorities, but they don’t directly re-prioritize it.
A: False—stakeholders don’t have this authority.
B: Correct—the Product Owner retains control.
Exact Extract from Scrum Guide: "The Product Owner is one person, not a committee... For Product
Owners to succeed, the entire organization must respect their decisions." (Section: "The Product
Owner")
Thus, B is correct.
Reference: Scrum Guide (2020), Section: "Sprint Review."
