# How does the Product Owner work with stakeholders during a Sprint?

During a Sprint, the [Product Owner](https://www.thescrummaster.co.uk/glossary/product-owner/) collaborates with stakeholders to understand what is valuable for the product. This collaboration involves discussions and feedback sessions where stakeholders share their needs, expectations, and ideas. Based on this input, the [Product Owner](https://www.thescrummaster.co.uk/glossary/product-owner/) can create or refine [Product Backlog](https://www.thescrummaster.co.uk/glossary/a-scrum-artifact-that-consists-of-an-ordered-list-of-the-work-to-be-done-in-order-to-create-maintain-and-sustain-a-product-managed-by-the-product-owner/) items, ensuring that the backlog reflects the stakeholders' priorities.

This continuous interaction helps maintain a clear and prioritised backlog that drives the development work. By regularly engaging with stakeholders, the [Product Owner](https://www.thescrummaster.co.uk/glossary/product-owner/) ensures that the team is always working on the most valuable features, aligning the product development with the business goals and user needs.
