PSPO I: Stakeholder Engagement practice questions

68 questions on Stakeholder Engagement, one of the 7 areas assessed in Professional Scrum Product Owner I. Untimed, with an explanation after every answer.

This topic covers how the Product Owner works with customers, users, executives and other stakeholders: gathering input, explaining ordering decisions and managing expectations. The Sprint Review sits at its centre: a working session where the Scrum Team and stakeholders inspect the Increment and adapt the Product Backlog, not a status report or a sign-off.

Stakeholders influence the ordering but never dictate it, whatever their seniority: anyone wanting a change must convince the Product Owner. The Product Owner neither tries to please everyone nor shields the Developers from stakeholders. A mid-Sprint request goes to the Product Backlog, not the Sprint Backlog, and the Daily Scrum belongs to the Developers.
