Expect questions on the Product Goal and product vision, on managing and ordering the Product Backlog, on working with stakeholders, on what the Product Owner does in Sprint Planning and the Sprint Review, and on what the Product Owner may delegate — and what remains their accountability.
A committee can influence the Product Backlog; only the Product Owner orders it. Options that make the Product Owner a proxy, a committee or a manager of the Developers are usually wrong.
Know The Scrum Guide as well as for Essentials, then think in decisions: what should the Product Owner do when a stakeholder wants something added mid-Sprint? Practise under time.
Fifty multiple-choice questions.
Thirty out of fifty — 60%.
