Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) — Question 12

How much time is required after a Sprint to prepare for the next Sprint?

Answer options

• A. The break between Sprints is time-boxed to 1 week for 30 day Sprints, and usually less for shorter sprints.
• B. Enough time for the requirements for the next Sprint to be determined and documented.
• C. Enough time for the Development team to finish the testing from the last Sprint.
• D. None. A new Sprint starts immediately following the end of the previous Sprint.
• E. All of the above are allowed depending on the situation.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because in Scrum, a new Sprint commences right after the conclusion of the previous one without any scheduled breaks. Options A, B, C, and E suggest various breaks or preparatory times, which are not in line with the Scrum framework that emphasizes continuous delivery.
