Professional Scrum Master II (PSM II) — Question 51

Steven is a Scrum Master on a new Scrum Team.
What would be the best way for him to determine if the Product Owner is interacting enough with the Development Team during a Sprint?

Answer options

• A. Check whether the Product Owner is actively engaged at the Daily Scrums.
• B. Check whether the Increment presented at the Sprint Review meets the Product Owner's expectations.
• C. See whether the Product Owner has provided enough information at the Sprint Planning to make his/her presence optional during the Sprint. The level of autonomy within Development Team can be the result of having the right presence from the Product Owner.
• D. The Product Owner must always be present with the Development Team. Unavailability of the Product Owner is prohibited in Scrum.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the effectiveness of the Product Owner's engagement can be gauged by whether the Increment aligns with their expectations, indicating successful collaboration. The other options focus on participation in events or incorrect assumptions about presence, which do not directly reflect the overall interaction and collaboration during the Sprint.
