Certified Scrum Master Practice Test

What is one of the key responsibilities of the Product Owner during the Sprint Retrospective?

1. Scheduling the next Sprint

2. Providing feedback on team performance

3. Sharing the PO perspective on product quality

4. Setting up the infrastructure for product development

The correct answer is: Sharing the PO perspective on product quality

The key responsibility of the Product Owner during the Sprint Retrospective is to share their perspective on product quality. This contribution is vital because the Product Owner has a comprehensive understanding of the product's vision and goals. By providing insights into how the product meets those standards, the Product Owner helps the team identify areas for improvement, enhancing overall quality and value delivered in future Sprints. This feedback is instrumental for the Scrum Team as they reflect on the past Sprint and discuss ways to increase productivity and efficiency. Other options, while relevant to the Scrum process, do not align as directly with the Product Owner's primary role during the Sprint Retrospective. The scheduling of the next Sprint is typically managed collaboratively by the Scrum Team with input from various roles. Feedback on team performance is generally gathered from multiple perspectives, not solely from the Product Owner, and setting up infrastructure for product development is usually the responsibility of the Development Team and may not fall under the Product Owner's purview during this meeting.
