  1. What is the primary purpose of Sprint Review?

    Answer: To inspect the Increment and adapt the Product Backlog based on feedback

    Sprint Review is an inspect-and-adapt event focused on the product Increment and gathering stakeholder feedback to update the Product Backlog.

  2. A Product Owner is asked to guarantee a specific set of features will be delivered in six months. What is the BEST response?

    Answer: Explain that Scrum embraces change and provide a forecast instead

    Agile forecasts are preferred over fixed commitments because requirements and understanding evolve throughout the project.

  3. What is 'Product Backlog Refinement' and who should be involved?

    Answer: An ongoing activity where the Product Owner and Development Team add detail, estimates, and order to backlog items

    Refinement is a collaborative, ongoing activity involving both the Product Owner and Development Team to keep the backlog ready for upcoming Sprints.

  4. When should a Product Owner consider canceling a Sprint?

    Answer: When the Sprint Goal becomes obsolete due to a fundamental change in direction

    Only the Product Owner has the authority to cancel a Sprint, and only when the Sprint Goal is no longer valid.

  5. Which of the following BEST describes the role of the Product Owner in Sprint Planning?

    Answer: Presents the top backlog items and clarifies details so the team can select and plan work

    In Sprint Planning, the Product Owner presents prioritized backlog items and answers questions, while the Development Team decides how much they can do.

  6. A newly hired Product Owner inherits a backlog with 400 items. What is the FIRST step they should take?

    Answer: Review and prioritize items with stakeholders to understand current business value

    Understanding the current business context and stakeholder priorities is essential before making any ordering or pruning decisions.

  7. How does empiricism in Scrum directly benefit the Product Owner's decision-making?

    Answer: It enables data-driven decisions based on transparency, inspection, and adaptation

    Empiricism means decisions are grounded in observed facts from completed increments, making Product Owner decisions more accurate over time.
