True or False: The Product Owner makes sure the Developers select enough from the ProductBacklog...

The Product Owner does not make sure the Developers select enough from the Product Backlog for a Sprint to satisfy the stakeholders. The Developers are the ones who determine how many Product Backlog items they select for a Sprint, based on their capacity and the Sprint Goal1. The Product Owner and the Developers collaborate on the scope of the Sprint during Sprint Planning, but the final decision is up to the Developers2. The Product Owner is accountable for maximizing the value of the product and the work of the Developers, and for managing the Product Backlog[3][3]. The Product Owner does not have the authority to tell the Developers how much work they should do, as this would violate the principle of self-management4.
