Certified Scrum Master (CSM) – GAQM — Question 35

What happens when all committed items (requirements) are not completed at the end of the Sprint?

Answer options

• A. The Sprint duration is extended
• B. The tasks are determined to be unnecessary
• C. They return to the product backlog
• D. None of the above

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because any incomplete items at the end of a Sprint are moved back to the product backlog for future consideration. Option A is incorrect, as extending the Sprint duration is not standard practice. Option B is also incorrect because the tasks may still hold value and simply need to be reprioritized.
