Holding a Sprint 0 is the most effective way to: (Choose the best answer)

ADefine a reference architecture

BWork on team development

CCreate a complete Product Backlog

DThere is no Sprint 0 in Scrum

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

'Sprint 0' is a concept from pre-Scrum practices and isn't part of the official framework. The Scrum Guide mandates that Sprints deliver value: 'A Sprint is a time-box of one month or less during which a 'Done', usable, and potentially releasable product Increment is created.' A preparatory 'Sprint 0' for architecture, team building, or backlog creation contradicts this by not producing an Increment.

A, B, C: These may occur outside Sprints, but not as a 'Sprint 0.'

D: Correct---Scrum has no such event.

Exact Extract from Scrum Guide: 'Each Sprint may be considered a short project... There is no gap between Sprints.' (Section: 'Sprint')

Thus, D is correct.

A Sprint 0? Isn't that just the time when the Scrum team sits around and drinks coffee? I'll go with D, no Sprint 0 in Scrum.

Hold up, what's a Sprint 0? Is that like a secret level in a video game? I'm going with B, team development is key in Scrum.

D is the correct answer. Scrum doesn't have a Sprint 0, it's all about embracing the Scrum framework as is.
