Certified Scrum Master (CSM) – GAQM — Question 53

Who has the authority to cancel a Sprint?

Answer options

• A. The team members
• B. The Scrum Master
• C. The Product Owner
• D. The Project Manager

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The Product Owner has the authority to cancel a Sprint because they are responsible for the product backlog and can decide when the Sprint no longer delivers value. The other roles, such as the Scrum Master, team members, and Project Manager, do not have the authority to cancel a Sprint as their responsibilities are different within the Scrum framework.
