Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 890

A product owner is invited to a sprint review meeting. At the end of the review, the product owner says that the increment is ready to be delivered to the customer.

What conclusion should the project manager come to with regard to the product owner’s statement?

Answer options

• A. The product owner trusts the team and is marking the product as complete.
• B. The product owner does not have visibility into what the team has done in the product increment.
• C. The product owner will release the product to customers without showing them a demo.
• D. The product owner has evaluated the product against the definition of done (DoD).

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because the product owner must evaluate the increment against the definition of done to ensure it meets the quality criteria before delivery. Option A is incorrect as it doesn't necessarily imply a completed product without evaluation. Option B is misleading since the product owner is present at the review, indicating they have visibility. Option C is also wrong because a demo is typically part of the delivery process.
