Question

a new hire is assigned to a team addressing a product backlog. what will this person be working on?
a list of prioritized tasks for a sprint within a project.
a list of products that need to be released
a list of tasks that have slipped behind schedule.
a list of maintenance tasks for a finished product.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: A sprint backlog (prioritized tasks for a sprint) is part of a project, not directly product backlog.
• Option 2: A product backlog is a list of features, enhancements, etc. (products to release or work on) for a product. This matches addressing product backlog.
• Option 3: Tasks behind schedule relate to schedule issues, not product backlog.
• Option 4: Maintenance tasks for finished product are post - release, not product backlog.

Answer:

B. A list of products that need to be released
