delivered.

Suggested Answer: B, C, D

B . It helps the Scrum Team keep focus and they can check any decision against it: A well-understood Product Goal acts as a powerful magnet that propels Scrum teams towards value delivery34.It guides efforts, prioritizes activities, fosters collaboration, and ensures focus on delivering value to customers34.

C . It provides overall direction so Sprints will feel less like isolated pieces of work: The Product Goal provides context to the Product Backlog2.It can be thought of as the 'why' we are doing all of this work2.It can be used as the elevator pitch to 'what is the Scrum Team working on?'2.

D . It makes it easier to inspect incremental progress at the Sprint Review: As each Increment is produced, the Product incrementally moves toward the Product Goal2.How that value is incrementally determined is very context-specific2.
