Certified Scrum Master (CSM) – GAQM — Question 17

A _____________________ is created during the first half of the Sprint planning meeting and a _________________ is created during the second half of the
Sprint planning meeting?

Answer options

• A. Sprint Backlog, collection of tasks
• B. Product Backlog, collection of tasks
• C. Sprint Goal, Sprint Backlog
• D. Product Backlog, Sprint Backlog

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the Sprint Goal is defined at the beginning of the Sprint planning meeting, outlining the purpose of the Sprint, while the Sprint Backlog is developed in the latter half, detailing the tasks needed to achieve that goal. Options A and B are incorrect as they refer to the Product Backlog, which is not specifically created during the Sprint planning meeting's two halves. Option D is also incorrect because it suggests that the Product Backlog is created during the second half, which is not the case.
