Do you think that the Product Owner attend the whole Sprint Planning or just for the “Why” part of Spring planning is enough?
The Product Owner presents the business objective of the next Sprint to the Scrum Team. Collaboratively, the Scrum Team creates the Sprint Goal. The Developers then pick— considering all circumstances, for example, available capacity—those Product Backlog items they deem necessary to achieve the Sprint Goal. The presence of the Product Owner during this part of the Sprint Planning is essential.
Often, the Developers now add details to the Sprint Backlog items, for example, splitting them up into tasks, identifying parts that need further clarification, or agreeing on who will be working on what tasks. Product Owner does not necessarily need to participate in this part of the Sprint Planning. But they need to be on stand-by for additional questions. However, I practice to be in Sprint planning for the entire duration to avoid any delays in providing clarifications.
