PMP Question 648

[admin]

You are facilitating Sprint Planning for a new Scrum team. The Product Owner presents a clear, prioritized backlog, and the team begins selecting items for the sprint. Some developers feel uncertain about how much they can commit to, while others are ready to move forward. As Scrum Master, you guide the team to make a sustainable decision.

Which of the following best describes the purpose of Sprint Planning?

A. To estimate total hours and assign work to team members
B. To set a sprint goal and forecast work the team can deliver
C. To lock down scope so no changes occur during the sprint
D. To finalize product backlog priorities for upcoming releases

✅ Correct Answer: B. To set a sprint goal and forecast work the team can deliver

🔍 Explanation:
A. To estimate total hours and assign work to team members
❌ Incorrect. Scrum teams self-organize; work is not assigned top-down. Estimating hours may occur, but it’s not the main focus of Sprint Planning.

B. To set a sprint goal and forecast work the team can deliver
✅ Correct. Sprint Planning is used to define the Sprint Goal and for the team to forecast what they believe they can achieve based on capacity and past velocity.

C. To lock down scope so no changes occur during the sprint
❌ Incorrect. While changes to the sprint backlog are discouraged once the sprint starts, flexibility exists as new understanding emerges. The sprint backlog is owned and managed by the team.

D. To finalize product backlog priorities for upcoming releases
❌ Incorrect. That’s done in Backlog Refinement and Release Planning, not Sprint Planning. Sprint Planning focuses only on the current sprint.
