What is an activity of the Product Owner?

The primary activity of the Product Owner ismaximizing the value of the Scrum Team's work. This involves managing the Product Backlog, ensuring that the most valuable work is prioritized, and collaborating with stakeholders to define clear goals and objectives for the Scrum Team.

According to the2020 Scrum Guide, the Product Owner:

Ensures that the Scrum Team is working on the most valuable work by continuously prioritizing and refining the Product Backlog.

Collaborates closely with stakeholders to understand their needs and expectations.

Focuses on delivering value while enabling the Scrum Team to achieve their Sprint Goals.

Why the other options are incorrect:

A. Ensuring the Charter is understood:A project charter is not part of the Scrum framework. This option is unrelated to Scrum.

B. Experimenting with Sprint duration:Sprint duration is decided by the Scrum Team and is fixed throughout the Scrum implementation. It is not the Product Owner's responsibility to experiment with this.

D. Managing the Developers:Scrum does not involve "managing" Developers; they are self-organizing and responsible for how they complete their work.
