GAQM Exam CASPO-001 Topic 3 Question 1 Discussion

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.
