[Open Assess Question] Development Team members volunteer to own a Sprint Backlog item:

Hello,

I took the Open Assessment and did not fully understand why an team member cannot "own" an Sprint Backlog Item. I mean, if I have a Sprint Backlog with 30 items in a Excel/web application, shouldn't the team member "check" the item as "Work In Progress by XYZ"?

Thanks in advance for your input.
Kind regards

Development Team members volunteer to own a Sprint Backlog item:



Never. All Sprint Backlog Items are "owned" by the entire Development Team, even though each one may be done by an individual development team member.

Whenever a team member can accommodate more work.

During the Daily Scrum.

At the Sprint planning meeting.
