Can developers add new tasks to the Sprint Backlog during the Sprint?

No, they can only complete pre-defined tasks

Yes, but only if it is agreed by the Product Owner

Yes, the Sprint Backlog is dynamic

The Sprint Backlog is a dynamic and adaptable artifact that represents the work the Scrum Team has identified as necessary to meet the Sprint Goal. During the Sprint, the Developers have the authority to modify the Sprint Backlog as they gain a better understanding of the work that needs to be done. This includes adding new tasks based on evolving project needs, insights gained, or unforeseen challenges that arise during the course of the Sprint.

This flexibility is rooted in Scrum's empirical process control theory, which emphasizes adapting to change over strictly adhering to a pre-defined plan. By allowing Developers to add tasks, the Scrum framework supports continuous improvement and fosters a collaborative environment where the team can respond effectively to new information and challenges.

In summary, the dynamic nature of the Sprint Backlog allows for adaptation and is crucial for ensuring that the team remains focused on achieving the Sprint Goal, making the chosen answer correct.

No, tasks must remain unchanged
