Confusion

The team and product owner are reviewing user stories in the iteration planning meeting. While reviewing stories, it is identified that some of the high-value stories have more associated risks.

What should the agile project manager do?

A.Recommend that the team include risky stories in early iterations rather than later ones.
B.Recommend that the team choose stories with low risk for easy completion to keep team motivation high.
C.Work with the product owner to decide on the stories that should go during the iteration.
D.Use the Pareto analysis to decide which stories can be completed the fastest.

Solution: A. Recommend that the team include risky stories in early iterations rather than later ones

Risk management should be iterative in agile projects. Any risk items or stories that are identified as higher risks should be addressed earlier by adding them in appropriate sprints rather than to wait for the risks to hit the project.

The other answer choices are incorrect.

Focusing on low risk stories will leave out the high risk stories that should be prioritized;

the team, not the product owner, should determine the stories;

Pareto analysis is not the right tool to use.

This is a question in study hall exam, I agree on the answer. but it is also mentioned team should determine the stories not the product owner. Isn't it wrong? based on the business value requirement product owner should prioritize the story for the next iteration.

Anyone?
