When is the Sprint Backlog created? (Choose the best answer)

AIn advance of Sprint Planning

BDuring the Sprint

CBacklog refinement

DSprint Planning

Suggested Answer: D

The Sprint Backlog is created during Sprint Planning as the Developers select items and plan delivery. The Scrum Guide states: 'Sprint Planning initiates the Sprint by laying out the work to be performed for the Sprint. This resulting plan is created by the collaborative work of the entire Scrum Team.'

A: Pre-planning creation isn't supported; it's a Sprint-specific plan.

B: It starts in planning, though it evolves during the Sprint.

C: Refinement prepares the Product Backlog, not the Sprint Backlog.

D: Correct---initial creation occurs here.

Exact Extract from Scrum Guide: 'The Sprint Backlog is composed of the Sprint Goal (why), the set of Product Backlog items selected for the Sprint (what), as well as an actionable plan for delivering the Increment (how)... Sprint Planning results in the Sprint Backlog.' (Section: 'Sprint Planning')

Thus, D is correct.

I thought it was refined beforehand, but I guess not.

I thought it was created in advance of Sprint Planning, but now I'm second-guessing myself after reviewing the options.

I feel like the backlog refinement is important, but I can't recall if that's when the actual Sprint Backlog is finalized.

I think the Sprint Backlog is created during Sprint Planning, but I'm not entirely sure if it can be influenced by backlog refinement too.

I'm a little confused by the options here. I know the Sprint Backlog is important, but I'm not sure if it's created during Backlog refinement or Sprint Planning. I'll have to review my notes to be sure.

Okay, let me see. The Sprint Backlog contains the items the team will work on during the Sprint, so it makes sense that it would be created in advance of the Sprint, during Sprint Planning. I'll go with option A.

Santos 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know the Sprint Backlog is related to the Sprint, but I can't remember exactly when it's created. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Wait, is this a trick question? I mean, who wouldn't know the Sprint Backlog is created during Sprint Planning? That's like Scrum 101.

Backlog refinement? Really? Come on, we all know it's created during Sprint Planning. That's just basic Scrum knowledge.

Shawn 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm torn between A and D. Didn't the Scrum Guide say something about the Sprint Backlog being created during Sprint Planning? Guess I'll go with D.

Audra 1 year ago

Well, I always thought it was created in advance, but I guess D is the way to go here.
