In the Sprint Planning meeting, the Product Owner and the Development Team were unable to reach a clear understanding about the highest order Product Backlog items. Because of this, the Development Team couldn’t figure out how many Product Backlog items it could forecast for the upcoming Sprint. They were able to agree on a Sprint Goal, however.
Which of the following two actions should the Scrum Master support? (Choose two)A. Cancel the Sprint
B. Send the entire team to an advanced Scrum training and then start a new Sprint
C. Forecast the most likely Product Backlog items to meet the goal and create a Sprint Backlog based on a likely initial design and plan. Once the time-box for the Sprint Planning meeting is over, start the Sprint and continue to analyse, decompose, and create additional functionality during the Sprint
D. Continue the Sprint Planning meeting past its time-box until an adequate number of Product Backlog items are well enough understood for the Development Team to make a complete forecast
E. Start the Sprint
F. Discuss in the upcoming Sprint Retrospective why this happened and what changes will make it less likely to reoccur.
G. Ask everyone to take as much time as needed to analyse the Product Backlog first, and then reconvene another Sprint Planning meeting
Correct Answer: C,F
In this case the Scrum Master should focus on getting the team started and later analyse what went wrong and how this can be prevented. Agile working is not about planning the entire sprint, if its not possible to plan a sprint the team should plan enough to get started
