In Scrum projects, who has the final say in the acceptance of the product increment?

Scrum Master
Stakeholder
Product Owner
Developers

The correct answer is: Product Owner

The Product Owner holds the responsibility for maximizing the value of the product and managing the Product Backlog. This includes having the final say in the acceptance of the product increment after it meets the definition of done and aligns with the agreed-upon acceptance criteria. The Product Owner acts as a bridge between the stakeholders and the Scrum Team, ensuring that what gets delivered aligns with stakeholder needs and expectations. In Scrum, while the Developers build the product increment and should ensure it meets quality standards, their role does not include making decisions about acceptance. The Scrum Master, on the other hand, facilitates the Scrum process but does not have authority over product decisions. Stakeholders provide valuable feedback and insights but ultimately, the Product Owner makes the final decision regarding the acceptance of the work done. This clarity of roles is essential for maintaining effective communication and responsibility within the Scrum Team.
