True or False: The Product Owner must use burn-down charts to track progress.

True
False
Only if specified by stakeholders
Depends on the Sprint

The correct answer is: False

The statement is false because while burn-down charts are a useful tool for tracking the amount of work remaining in a Sprint or the overall project, they are not a mandatory requirement for the Product Owner to use. The practice of using burn-down charts may vary among teams based on their preferences, the Agile methodologies they follow, or the specific needs of their projects. The key role of the Product Owner is to manage the product backlog and ensure that the development team is delivering value. They can use various methods and tools to track progress and communicate status with stakeholders, and burn-down charts are just one of many possible options. Teams might choose other visualizations or metrics that may better represent their workflow or project specificities. Ultimately, the effective communication of progress and alignment with project goals is what matters most, rather than adhering to a specific tool like burn-down charts.
