  1. What is the primary responsibility of the Product Owner during Sprint Planning?

    Answer: Clarify the Product Backlog items and their acceptance criteria

    The Product Owner clarifies Product Backlog items and their acceptance criteria so Developers can make informed decisions during Sprint Planning.

  2. Who decides which Product Backlog items are included in a Sprint?

    Answer: The Developers, with input from the Product Owner

    Developers select which items they can complete in a Sprint, though the Product Owner communicates priority and value.

  3. What should a Product Owner do if Developers select fewer items than expected during Sprint Planning?

    Answer: Respect the Developers' forecast and discuss ways to improve capacity over time

    The Product Owner should respect the Developers' professional judgment about their capacity and collaborate on improving it over time.

  4. How does the Product Owner contribute to the Sprint Goal?

    Answer: The PO proposes a Sprint Goal based on backlog priorities, which the Scrum Team then refines

    The Product Owner proposes a Sprint Goal aligned with business value, and the whole Scrum Team collaborates to finalize it during Sprint Planning.

  5. Which statement best describes the Sprint Goal?

    Answer: A flexible objective that gives the Sprint coherence and focus

    The Sprint Goal is a single objective that provides focus and flexibility for the Developers as they work through the Sprint.

  6. What happens if the Product Owner is unavailable during Sprint Planning?

    Answer: This is a significant risk; the PO must attend or delegate an informed representative

    Sprint Planning requires PO input on priorities and acceptance criteria; absence is a risk that must be mitigated through delegation or rescheduling.
