Question 63: A Product Owner cannot send a representative to the Sprint Review instead of himself.

  • True

  • False

Overall explanation

  • The Product Owner is the sole person responsible for managing the Product Backlog.
  • Therefore, he is the only person responsible for collecting feedback from the stakeholders in order the shape his product's vision.
  • While anyone in the Scrum Team can do the legwork at the Product Owner's discretion (by adding and ordering new Product Backlog Items for example), nobody can replace the Product Owner at the Sprint Review.

Question 70: During a Sprint Review, the stakeholders notice that the product development progress is not clear and visible. Who is responsible for this lack of transparency?

  • Scrum Master

  • Product Owner

  • Scrum Team

  • Development Team

Overall explanation

  • The Product Owner is the sole person responsible for managing the Product Backlog. Product Backlog management includes:

    • Clearly expressing Product Backlog items;

    • Ordering the items in the Product Backlog to best achieve goals and missions;

    • Optimizing the value of the work the Development Team performs;

    • Ensuring that the Product Backlog is visible, transparent, and clear to all, and shows what the Scrum Team will work on next; and,

    • Ensuring the Development Team understands items in the Product Backlog to the level needed.

Question 112: The key stakeholders invited to the Sprint Review provide:

  • Feedback on the Increment

  • Feedback on Scrum implementation

  • Feedback on the team’s working methodology

  • Feedback on the technical design

Overall explanation

  • A Sprint Review is held at the end of the Sprint to inspect the Increment and adapt the Product Backlog if needed.
  • During the Sprint Review, the Scrum Team and stakeholders collaborate about what was done in the Sprint.
  • Based on that and any changes to the Product Backlog during the Sprint, attendees collaborate on the next things that could be done to optimize value.
  • This is an informal meeting, not a status meeting, and the presentation of the Increment is intended to elicit feedback and foster collaboration.
