Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) — Question 27

A Scrum Team has been working on a product for nine Sprints. A new Product Owner comes in, understanding he is accountable for the Product Backlog.
However, he is unsure about his responsibilities. Which two activities are part of the Product Owner role according to Scrum? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Ensuring that the most valuable functionality is produced first, at all times.
• B. Interacting with stakeholders.
• C. Providing the Development Team with detailed specifications.
• D. Describing features as Use Cases.
• E. Creating detailed functional test cases.

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

The correct answer is A and B because a key responsibility of the Product Owner is to ensure that the most valuable functionality is prioritized and to engage with stakeholders for feedback and alignment. Options C, D, and E do not align with the Product Owner's role, as they focus more on detailed specifications and testing, which are not primary responsibilities.
