Professional Scrum Master II (PSM II) — Question 166

When does a new Sprint begin?

Answer options

• A. Immediately after the next Sprint Planning.
• B. Immediately after the end of the previous Sprint.
• C. It depends on the Product Owner.
• D. Every Monday.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

A new Sprint starts immediately after the end of the previous Sprint, making option B correct. Option A is incorrect because Sprint Planning is a preparatory meeting, not the trigger for starting a new Sprint. Option C is misleading since the timing of Sprints is defined by the Scrum framework rather than solely by the Product Owner's discretion. Option D is incorrect as Sprints do not have a set weekly start date.
