Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) — Question 53

When is the Sprint Backlog created?

Answer options

• A. At the beginning of the project.
• B. During the Sprint Planning meeting.
• C. Prior to the Sprint Planning meeting.
• D. During the Sprint.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The Sprint Backlog is specifically created during the Sprint Planning meeting, where the team defines the work that will be undertaken in the upcoming Sprint. Options A and C are incorrect because the backlog must be created in conjunction with the planning of the Sprint, not before or at the project’s inception. Option D is also incorrect as the backlog is not created during the Sprint itself, but rather before it starts.
