Explanation
In your SAFe 6 POPM Workbook, it's mentioned that one of the responsibilities of the Product Owner (PO) during Team Sync in SAFe 6 is to clarify story intent. This means that the PO should be available to answer any questions that the team has about the Stories that they are working on. The PO should also be prepared to provide additional context or information about the Stories as needed.
In addition to clarifying story intent, the PO also has a number of other responsibilities during Team Sync, such as:
Answer questions about the product and the customer. The PO is the team's expert on the product and the customer, so they should be able to answer any questions that the team has about these topics.
Provide feedback on the team's work. The PO should provide feedback on the team's work to help them to improve their performance.
Remove roadblocks. The PO should work with the Scrum MAster to remove any roadblocks that are preventing the team from completing their work.
The other options are not correct:
gathering customer feedback and relaying it to the Development Team : it's his/her responsibility in the backlog refinement.
To facilitate event : is the responsibility of the Scrum Master.
To add new work into the Iteration : is the responsibility of the Development Team to manage the Iteration Backlog and generally there is no new work added during the sprint apart from a few cases.
