Eliminate Risk of Failure with GAQM CASPO-001 Exam Dumps

The Product Owner has explicit accountability for product value. The Scrum Guide states: 'The Product Owner is accountable for maximizing the value of the product resulting from the work of the Scrum Team.'

A: The Scrum Master ensures Scrum effectiveness, not value.

B: Correct---value maximization is their role.

C, D: Execs and Developers support, but don't own this.

Exact Extract from Scrum Guide: 'The Product Owner is accountable for maximizing the value of the product resulting from the work of the Scrum Team. How this is done may vary widely across organizations, Scrum Teams, and individuals.' (Section: 'The Product Owner')

Thus, B is correct.

The Product Owner is accountable for ordering the Product Backlog to maximize value. The Scrum Guide allows delegation of tasks but not accountability: 'The Product Owner may do the above work, or may delegate the responsibility to others. Regardless, the Product Owner remains accountable.' Delegating ordering risks misprioritization, potentially leading to an Increment that doesn't meet value goals or releasability.

A, B, D: These are unrelated consequences.

C: Correct---value and shippability are at risk.

Exact Extract from Scrum Guide: 'The Product Owner is accountable for effective Product Backlog management, which includes... Ordering Product Backlog items... The Product Owner remains accountable.' (Section: 'The Product Owner')

Thus, C is correct.

Scrum requires a 'potentially releasable' Increment each Sprint, but actual release is at the Product Owner's discretion. The Scrum Guide states: 'The Increment must be usable... The Product Owner may choose to release it immediately.'

A: False---release isn't mandatory.

B: Correct---it's optional per Sprint.

Exact Extract from Scrum Guide: 'Each Increment is additive to all prior Increments and thoroughly verified, ensuring that all Increments work together. In order to provide value, the Increment must be usable.' (Section: 'The Increment')

Thus, B is correct.

The Developers own the Sprint Backlog and update it as work progresses. The Scrum Guide states: 'The Sprint Backlog is a plan by and for the Developers... As new work is required, the Developers add it to the Sprint Backlog. As work is performed or completed, the estimated remaining work is updated.'

A: The Scrum Master facilitates, not updates.

B: Correct---the Developers manage it.

C, D: Execs and Product Owner don't touch the Sprint Backlog.

Exact Extract from Scrum Guide: 'As work is performed or completed, the estimated remaining work is updated. The Sprint Backlog is a highly visible, real-time picture of the work that the Developers plan to accomplish during the Sprint.' (Section: 'Sprint Backlog')

Thus, B is correct.

Technical debt affects product value, a Product Owner's core concern. The Scrum Guide doesn't explicitly mention technical debt, but the Product Owner's accountability for 'maximizing the value of the product' implies considering factors like TCO, which rises with debt due to rework or maintenance costs.

A: Correct---debt impacts long-term value and cost.

B: The Scrum Master facilitates, not manages debt.

C: False---the Product Owner must care about value impacts.

Exact Extract from Scrum Guide: 'The Product Owner is accountable for maximizing the value of the product resulting from the work of the Scrum Team.' (Section: 'The Product Owner') Debt reduces value, linking to A.

Thus, A is correct.
