What is the Sprint Goal?
- A concise objective that the Scrum Team commits to achieving during the Sprint ✓
- A commitment made by the Product Owner to stakeholders
- The same as the Product Goal
- A detailed list of all tasks to be completed
Correct answer: A concise objective that the Scrum Team commits to achieving during the Sprint
Option A is correct because the Scrum Guide defines the Sprint Goal as a concise, single objective that provides focus and flexibility, to which the entire Scrum Team commits during Sprint Planning for delivery within that Sprint. Option B is wrong because the Sprint Goal is a commitment of the whole Scrum Team, not a promise made solely by the Product Owner to stakeholders. Option C is wrong because the Product Goal is the long-term objective for the product beyond any single Sprint, whereas the Sprint Goal is scoped to one Sprint. Option D is wrong because the Sprint Goal is purposely high-level and flexible; the Scrum Team determines what tasks and backlog items are needed, and it is not itself a detailed task list.
