Question #: 18
Topic #: 1
[All PSPO-II Questions]

Which of the following activities should a Product Owner never do?

(choose the best answer)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

According to the Professional Scrum Product Owner II certification guide1, the Sprint Goal is the single objective for the Sprint. It is a commitment made by the Scrum Team during Sprint Planning. The Sprint Goal provides guidance to the Developers on why it is valuable to build a coherent Increment. The Product Owner proposes how the product could increase its value and utility in the current Sprint. The whole Scrum Team then collaborates to define a Sprint Goal that communicates why the Sprint is valuable to stakeholders. The Product Owner should not dictate the Sprint Goal, but rather collaborate with the Developers and the Scrum Master to create a shared understanding and alignment.The other options are not activities that a Product Owner should never do, because they are either part of the Product Owner's accountabilities (A, C, D) or may be done in collaboration with others (A, D).Reference:1: Professional Scrum Product Owner II Certification | Scrum.org

I think they can help shape it, but not dictate it.

Establishing a Product Goal seems like a core responsibility, so I doubt it’s D. I think it’s between A and B.

I’m leaning towards A, but I recall something about the Product Owner having a say in release timing. It’s confusing!

I think the Product Owner shouldn't dictate the Sprint Goal, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the right choice.

I think the key here is understanding the separation of concerns between the Product Owner and the Development Team. The Product Owner sets the direction, but the team decides how to get there.

Okay, I've got this. The Product Owner is responsible for the "what" and the Development Team is responsible for the "how." The Product Owner should never try to micromanage the team's work.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The Product Owner's responsibilities can be a bit tricky to pin down. I'll have to think it through carefully.

This one seems pretty straightforward. The Product Owner's role is to define the vision and priorities, not to dictate the details of how the work gets done.

This is a good test of our understanding of production planning and control systems. I'll carefully read through the options and think about how each one relates to the description provided in the question.

Haha, this question is like a Scrum Master's worst nightmare! Option B is definitely the correct answer. The Product Owner should be more like a coach, not a referee.

Wow, this question is a real brain-teaser! I'd have to go with B as well. The Product Owner should be a visionary, not a dictator. Let the team do their thing, right?

This is a tricky one, but I think the answer is B. The Product Owner should guide the team, not dictate their every move. That's just micromanagement, and it's not good for the team's creativity or productivity.

I think C) Accept work done during the Sprint is also something a Product Owner should never do, as it goes against the principle of self-organizing teams.
