Certified Scrum Master (CSM) – GAQM — Question 3

When is the Sprint Backlog created?

Answer options

• A. At the beginning of the project
• B. Prior to the Sprint Planning meeting
• C. During the Sprint
• D. During the Sprint Planning meeting

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The Sprint Backlog is created prior to the Sprint Planning meeting, as it consists of the selected items from the Product Backlog that the team commits to delivering in the upcoming Sprint. The other options are incorrect because the Sprint Backlog cannot be created at the project's beginning, during the Sprint, or at the Sprint Planning meeting itself; it is formulated as part of the planning process.
