Product owner responsibility during Sprint retrospective
Hi,
At Scrum Guide, Its mentioned about retrospective as opportunity for Scrum Team to inspect itself.
And mostly It says in specific with Scrum Master, who encourages Scrum Team to improve, with in scrum process framework , its development process and practices for next sprint.
Whats the role of Product owner here in specific. Does he has something explicitly here or just is covered under Scrum Team itself in general.
I assume he is covered as Scrum team member and identifies improvements.
Request someone to give me little insight on what exactly Product owner does during retrospective
Santosh,
SM encourages the team to contribute, as the SM has other services to provide (Page six)
Scrum Master Service to the Product Owner
Scrum Master Service to the Development Team
Scrum Master Service to the Organization
Sprint Retrospective (Page eleven)
The Sprint Retrospective is an opportunity for the Scrum Team to inspect itself and create a plan for improvements to be enacted during the next Sprint.
The purpose of the Sprint Retrospective is to:
* Inspect how the last Sprint went with regards to people, relationships, process, and tools;
* Identify and order the major items that went well and potential improvements; and,
* Create a plan for implementing improvements to the way the Scrum Team does its work
Product owner takes part as a team member as he or she is part of the the scrum team.
A team, that works as a team is worth its weight in gold, so it's important the PO is present and contributing.

Thanks Michael.
Sorry for the late reply. I have cleared PSM 1 and thats the reason :)
Everyone on the Scrum Team participates in the Sprint Retrospective as a respected and equal member of the team.
The goal is to look for ways to increase quality and effectiveness, and that means contributions from everyone on the team.
Scrum Team and the Retrospective
"The Scrum Team identifies the most helpful changes to improve its effectiveness. The most impactful improvements are addressed as soon as possible. They may even be added to the Sprint Backlog for the next Sprint." -The Scrum Guide, Page 9.
Notice that the description of the Sprint Retrospective uses the term 'Team.' It doesn't single out any one Scrum Role.
