Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: A
Explanation
In an agile environment, anyone may add items to the project's backlog at any time. It is up to the product owner to determine their priority. There is no requirements deadline when adding to the backlog. Agile projects are designed to have a flexible scope, so they will not be locked when the project begins. The product owner is in charge of prioritizing items, not deciding which goes into the backlog. Sprint reviews are intended to share updates made in the prior iteration.Discussion
