Professional Scrum Master II (PSM II) — Question 91

Which two statements best describe a Sprint Goal? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Sprint Goals are defined when the completed work is reviewed at the end of a Sprint.
• B. Sprint Goals give the Development Teams flexibility and creativity on how to implement functionality during the Sprint.
• C. During the Sprint Planning, the entire Scrum Team collaboratively crafts a Sprint Goal based on a business objective that the Product Owner would like to achieve that Sprint.
• D. Sprint Goals can change as new insights emerge during the Sprint.

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

Option B is correct because Sprint Goals indeed allow Development Teams the freedom to decide how to achieve the desired outcomes during the Sprint. Option C is also correct as it highlights the collaborative effort of the Scrum Team in defining a Sprint Goal based on the Product Owner's business objectives. Options A and D are incorrect because A suggests that Sprint Goals are defined after the Sprint, which is not true, and D implies that Sprint Goals are flexible, which is not typically the case once established.
