Discuss Scrum PSK-I Exam Topic 4 Question 27

What is true about the Sprint Goal if the Developers reserve capacity for unplanned work during

an upcoming sprint?

(choose the best answer)

AThe Sprint Goal no longer helps the Developers. They do not know what they will be
working on.

BThe Developers should never reserve more than 5% capacity for unplanned work. It
is inefficient if the Developer's forecast does not take into account all of their
capacity.

CThe Sprint Goal becomes more important. It can help the Developers maintain their
focus as new Product Backlog items are brought into the Sprint Backlog.

Suggested Answer: C

When Developers reserve capacity for unplanned work during a Sprint, the Sprint Goal becomes even more crucial. It serves as the guiding objective that aligns the team's focus amidst uncertainties or when unplanned work is introduced. By having a clear Sprint Goal, the Developers can ensure that any new items brought into the Sprint Backlog still align with the overarching objective of the Sprint, helping them maintain focus and coherence in their efforts throughout the Sprint

B seems a bit strict. 5% feels too low for unplanned work.

I disagree, A makes sense too. Without a clear plan, it’s chaos.

C is spot on! The Sprint Goal keeps us aligned.

B is too rigid. Sometimes you need flexibility for unexpected tasks.

A seems a bit extreme, though. We can still focus with unplanned work.

Wait, so reserving capacity actually helps? That’s surprising!

I vaguely recall something about not reserving too much capacity, but I can't remember the exact percentage we discussed.

I feel like option A might be misleading. The Sprint Goal should still provide direction, right?

I think we practiced a question similar to this, and it emphasized that the Sprint Goal helps maintain focus, even with unplanned work.

I remember discussing how the Sprint Goal is supposed to guide the team, but I'm not sure if reserving capacity changes that.
