Explanation
According to the PMBOK Guide, a sprint review is a scrum event in which the scrum team and the product owner inspect the product increment and adapt the product backlog if needed. The product increment is the sum of all the product backlog items completed during a sprint and the value of the increments of all previous sprints. The product owner is responsible for determining whether the product increment meets the definition of done (DoD), which is a shared understanding of what it means for work to be complete. The DoD is used to assess when a product backlog item or an increment is done. The product owner also decides when to release the product increment to the customer, based on the feedback received from the stakeholders during the sprint review.
In this question, the product owner says that the increment is ready to be delivered to the customer at the end of the sprint review. This implies that the product owner has evaluated the product increment against the DoD and found it to be acceptable. The product owner may also have received positive feedback from the stakeholders who attended the sprint review. Therefore, the project manager should conclude that the product owner has fulfilled their role and responsibility in the sprint review, and is satisfied with the quality and value of the product increment.
The other options are not correct because they do not reflect the purpose and outcome of the sprint review.
Option B is wrong because it suggests that the product owner willbypass the sprint review and not seek feedback from the stakeholders. This would violate the scrum principles of transparency, inspection, and adaptation. Option C is wrong because it implies that the product owner is not involved in the development process and does not collaborate with the scrum team. This would contradict the scrum values of commitment, focus, and respect. Option D is wrong because it indicates that the product owner is not verifying the product increment against the DoD and the acceptance criteria. This would compromise the quality and value of the product. References:
