Explanation

The Product Owner is responsible for tracking the total work remaining in the Product Backlog at every Sprint Review. They use this information - often visualized as a release burndown chart - to project progress toward the product goal and forecast likely completion. While the Development Team tracks Sprint-level progress (Sprint Burndown), the Product Owner maintains visibility over the broader backlog. The Scrum Master and Senior Executives do not own this tracking responsibility.
