Certified Scrum Master (CSM) – GAQM — Question 68

Who should know the most about the progress toward a business objective or a release, and be able to explain the alternatives most clearly?

Answer options

• A. The Product Owner
• B. The Scrum Master
• C. The Project Manager
• D. The Development Team

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The Product Owner is responsible for maximizing the value of the product and is deeply involved in the progress toward business objectives, making them the best person to explain alternatives. The Scrum Master facilitates the process but does not focus on business goals, while the Project Manager often deals with schedules and resources rather than product value. The Development Team focuses on execution and may not have the broader business context needed to explain alternatives effectively.
