Scrum Exam PSPO-I Topic 1 Question 18 Discussion

Sprint Planning is an event where the Scrum Team collaborates on the work to be performed during the Sprint1. The topics covered in Sprint Planning are:

What can be done. The Product Owner proposes how the product could increase its value and utility in the current Sprint, based on the Product Goal, the Product Backlog, and the latest market and stakeholder feedback. The Developers assess the capacity and the technical feasibility of the work, and select the Product Backlog items that they can commit to for the Sprint.The Scrum Team crafts the Sprint Goal, which is a concise statement of the purpose and focus of the Sprint2.

How to do it. The Developers plan how they will deliver a ''Done'' product Increment that meets the Sprint Goal. They create a plan for the first days of the Sprint, and decompose the selected Product Backlog items into smaller work items. The Developers also identify any dependencies, risks, or impediments that may affect their work. The resulting plan is captured in the Sprint Backlog, which is owned and managed by the Developers[3][3].

Why to do it. The Product Owner explains the value and the outcome of the work to be done in the Sprint, and how it aligns with the Product Goal and the stakeholder needs. The Product Owner also clarifies the acceptance criteria and the Definition of Done for the Product Backlog items, and answers any questions from the Developers.The Scrum Team ensures that they have a common understanding of the Sprint Goal and the expected product Increment4.
