Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) — Question 139

What activities would a Product Owner typically undertake in the phase between the end of the current Sprint and the start of the next Sprint?

Answer options

• A. There are no such activities. The next Sprint starts immediately after the current Sprint.
• B. Refine the Product Backlog.
• C. Work with the Quality Assurance departments on the Increment of the current Sprint.
• D. Update the project plan with stakeholders.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because in Scrum, there is typically no gap between Sprints; the next Sprint begins right after the last one ends. Options B, C, and D suggest activities that are not applicable during this transition, as the focus is on continuous delivery and the immediate commencement of the next Sprint.
