Professional Scrum Master II (PSM II) — Question 168

When does a Sprint end?

Answer options

• A. When there is no work remaining in the Sprint Backlog.
• B. When the time-box expires.
• C. It depends on the Product Owner.
• D. Immediately after the conclusion of the Sprint Review.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because a Sprint concludes when the time-box expires, which is a fundamental principle of Scrum. Option A is incorrect as the Sprint can end even if there are remaining tasks, while option C is misleading because the timing is not at the discretion of the Product Owner. Option D is also incorrect since the Sprint ends with the time-box, not immediately after the Sprint Review.
