What role does the Product Owner play during the Daily Scrum?

Facilitates the meeting
Participates in the meeting regularly
Only observes the meeting
Available for ad-hoc meetings afterwards

The correct answer is: Available for ad-hoc meetings afterwards

The role of the Product Owner during the Daily Scrum primarily involves participation, and option B accurately reflects this. The Daily Scrum is fundamentally a team meeting designed for the developers to synchronize their activities and plan for the next 24 hours. The Product Owner is encouraged to participate regularly to stay informed about the progress and challenges the team faces, which can help in prioritizing work and addressing any immediate concerns regarding the product backlog. While the Product Owner is not responsible for facilitating the Daily Scrum—this responsibility typically lies with the Scrum Master—their regular participation can provide valuable insights, clarify priorities, and answer questions that may arise during the discussion. This engagement fosters a collaborative environment and aligns the team’s understanding of the product goals. Ad-hoc meetings may occur separately, but they are not the primary role designated for the Product Owner during the Daily Scrum itself. Thus, regular participation aligns more closely with the expectations established in Scrum guidelines.
