Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) — Question 120

When should a Sprint Goal be created?

Answer options

• A. It should have been created in the previous Sprint during Product Backlog refinement.
• B. It must be established before Sprint Planning in order to begin planning.
• C. A Sprint Goal is not mandatory in Scrum.
• D. At any time during the Sprint.
• E. During Sprint Planning.

Correct answer: E

Explanation

The correct answer is E because the Sprint Goal should be defined during the Sprint Planning meeting, where the team decides what they aim to achieve in the upcoming sprint. Options A and B are incorrect since they suggest establishing the goal before Sprint Planning, while C incorrectly states that a Sprint Goal is not necessary, and D suggests that it can be set at any time, which is not aligned with Scrum principles.
