The concept of a ''Release Sprint'' is not found in the Scrum Guide or the Professional Scrum Product Owner (PSPO I) materials. Scrum does not require a separate Sprint for releasing an Increment. According to Scrum, each Increment must be usable and potentially releasable at the end of every Sprint, which means the product should be in a releasable state irrespective of whether the Product Owner decides to release it or not. The idea of a Release Sprint is not aligned with Scrum's principle of continuous delivery and the definition of ''Done''.

Wait, are we sure about that? Seems a bit off.

That's false! No need for a Release Sprint.

I might be confused, but I thought a high-performance team focuses on delivering increments in every sprint, so maybe the answer is true?

I recall a practice question about the definition of done, and it emphasized that each increment should be potentially shippable without needing a separate release sprint.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like we discussed that increments should be complete at the end of each sprint, not just during a special release sprint.

I think the statement is false because I remember that a Release Sprint isn't a standard practice in Scrum.

False. The Scrum Guide doesn't mention anything about a "Release Sprint." The team should be able to deliver a complete, potentially releasable Increment at the end of each regular Sprint.

Okay, let me think this through. The Scrum Team is responsible for delivering a potentially releasable Increment at the end of each Sprint, but I don't think a separate "Release Sprint" is required. I'll go with False on this one.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. I know Scrum emphasizes delivering working software, but I don't recall anything about a "Release Sprint" specifically.

I'm pretty sure this is true. The Scrum Guide talks about the importance of having a complete Increment at the end of each Sprint.

Wait, is this a trick question? I thought Scrum was all about continuous integration and deployment, not big bang releases. This has to be False.

Haha, a 'Release Sprint'? That sounds like something out of the Waterfall playbook. I'm going with B, False.

False, definitely. The whole point of Scrum is to deliver working software frequently, not just at the end of a 'Release Sprint'.

I agree with Shawn, it depends on how the team interprets and implements Scrum principles.
SH

But some teams may use a Release Sprint to ensure the Increment is shippable.

I disagree, I think it's False because a Release Sprint is not a part of Scrum framework.

I think it's True because a Release Sprint is used to ensure the Increment is complete.
