GAQM Exam CASPO-001 Topic 4 Question 7 Discussion

'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.
