  • The sprint backlog can only be changed after agreement from both the team and the PO. - This is not correct. In Scrum, the Sprint Backlog is owned solely by the Development Team. The only time the PO needs to become involved is if the scope of the Sprint is changing or if the Sprint Goals are in jeopardy. If the work being added/removed is in support of already planned Product Backlog Items brought into the Sprint, then the Development Team can choose how to represent that work.
