PSM I: Scrum Events practice questions
81 questions on Scrum Events, one of the 8 areas assessed in Professional Scrum Master I. Untimed, with an explanation after every answer.
This topic covers the Sprint and its four events, with their purpose and timebox: Sprint Planning at most 8 hours for a one-month Sprint, the Daily Scrum 15 minutes, the Sprint Review at most 4 hours, the Sprint Retrospective at most 3 hours. Sprint Planning answers why, what and how, producing the Sprint Goal and Sprint Backlog.
A Sprint is never extended; unfinished items return to the Product Backlog. Only the Product Owner can cancel a Sprint, and only if the Sprint Goal becomes obsolete. The Daily Scrum is for the Developers, not a status report to the Scrum Master. The Sprint Review is a working session, not a presentation or a release gate.
What is the maximum duration of Sprint Planning for a one-month Sprint?
