During Sprint Planning the Product Owner and the Developers are unable to reach an

understanding about the highest order Product Backlog items. Because of this, the Developers

are unable to determine how many Product Backlog items they can forecast for the upcoming

Sprint However, the Product Owner and the Developers are able to agree on a Sprint Goal.

Which of the following actions should the Scrum Master support?

(choose the best two answers)

ACancel the Sprint Send the entire team to an advanced Scrum training and then
start a new Sprint

BDuring the next Sprint Retrospective discuss why this happened and what
changes will make it less likely to recur.

CContinue the Sprint Planning event past its timebox until an adequate number ot
Product Backlog items are well enough understood for the Developers to make a
complete forecast Then start the Sprint

DForecast the Product Backlog items that are most likely to meet the Sprint Goal
and create the Sprint Backlog. Conclude Sprint Planning and start the
development work. Continue to analyze, decompose, and create additional
functionality during the Sprint

EAsk everyone to take as much time as needed to analyze the Product Backlog
first, and then reconvene another Sprint Planning meeting.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B, D

According to the Scrum Guide, two actions that the Scrum Master should support in this scenario are forecasting the Product Backlog items that are most likely to meet the Sprint Goal and creating the Sprint Backlog, and discussing why this happened and what changes will make it less likely to recur during the next Sprint Retrospective. These actions are consistent with Scrum values and principles, such as empiricism, adaptation, and continuous improvement. The other options are not valid actions, as they are either wasteful (such as canceling the Sprint or continuing the Sprint Planning past its timebox) or ineffective (such as asking everyone to take more time to analyze the Product Backlog).
