Question

A Scrum team has recently lost its product owner to another team. A new product owner has been hired for the Scrum team. This product owner is currently new to the project, unfamiliar with the team's practices, and does not have a full grasp of the product users. After a few sprints, the product owner is receiving constructive feedback from both internal and external stakeholders related to the direction of the product and its current challenges. What can the product owner do to improve the product's perception among stakeholders and ensure the team understands the product vision? (Choose 2)

Options

  • ARe-assess the product goal, place it on the product backlog, and explain it to the team.
  • BInvite more stakeholders to the daily scrum meetings to voice their opinion of the product.
  • CCreate sprint goals and communicate them at the sprint planning event.
  • DInvite product teams to more frequent reviews to observe the team's work and encourage
  • EInvite stakeholders to the sprint retrospective to brainstorm with the team improvements.

Explanation

Option A (re-assess the product goal, place it on the product backlog, and explain it to the team) directly addresses the product owner's core responsibility: defining and communicating the product vision. Re-assessing the product goal based on stakeholder feedback and then explicitly explaining it to the team ensures alignment on direction. Option C (create sprint goals and communicate them at sprint planning) operationalizes the product vision sprint by sprint, giving the team concrete, actionable objectives that connect daily work to the broader product goal. Together, these two actions close the loop between strategic vision and execution. Option B is incorrect because daily scrums are solely for the development team-inviting stakeholders violates Scrum principles. Option D is incomplete. Option E is incorrect because sprint retrospectives are internal Scrum team events; inviting external stakeholders disrupts the psychological safety needed for honest retrospection.
