Professional Scrum Master II (PSM II) — Question 161

Who can prematurely cancel a Sprint?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The Product Owner is the only role that can decide to cancel a Sprint if it no longer makes sense to continue. The Development Team, Stakeholders, and Scrum Master do not possess the authority to make this decision, as it is ultimately the Product Owner's responsibility to determine the value and direction of the product.
