Certified Scrum Master (CSM) – GAQM — Question 57

What happens when the Sprint is cancelled?

Answer options

• A. The Scrum Team disbands immediately
• B. The complete Sprint Backlog is put back to the Product Backlog
• C. The completed Sprint Backlog items are evaluated for a release and incomplete items are ignored.
• D. The completed Sprint Backlog items are evaluated for a release and incomplete items are put back to the Product Backlog

Correct answer: D

Explanation

When a Sprint is cancelled, the completed items are assessed for potential release, ensuring that any work done is not wasted. The incomplete items are then returned to the Product Backlog for future consideration, which is why option D is correct. Options A and C are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the Scrum framework's handling of Sprint cancellations.
