Professional Scrum Master II (PSM II) — Question 160

Which statement is correct about the length of the Sprints?

Answer options

• A. All Sprints must be one month or less and it is optimal to have a consistent Sprint length.
• B. The Sprint length is dependent on the development effort forecasted (amount of items selected) during Sprint Planning.
• C. The Sprint length is calculated by aggregating the time required to design, code and test.
• D. The Sprint Length is defined by the Scrum Master.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because Sprints are intended to be time-boxed to one month or less, promoting a consistent duration for better predictability and productivity. Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they suggest that the Sprint length can vary based on workload, specific calculations, or is solely at the discretion of the Scrum Master, which is not aligned with Scrum guidelines.
