this would block communication and collaboration. The Sprint Backlog is updated by the
Developers throughout the Sprint as more is learned.

conclusion of the previous Sprint.

The Sprint Retrospective concludes the Sprint, and is timeboxed to a maximum of three
hours for a one-month Sprint. For shorter Sprints, the event is usually shorter

Though not typical, a Sprint can end if the Sprint Goal becomes obsolete. Only the
Product Owner has the authority to end the Sprint prematurely.

Goal based on the set of Product Backlog items selected for the Sprint.
The Developers identify the necessary work to meet the Sprint Goal.
Scrum Team members do not have titles, and no sub-teams; such as
testing, architecture, or operations are recognized. Accountability
belongs with the Scrum Team as a whole, regardless of whether team
members have specialized skills.

Daily Scrum.

Question 28 of 30

True or False: The Scrum Team must choose at least one high priority process improvement
item, identified during the Sprint Retrospective, and place it in the Sprint Backlog.

True

False

An earlier version of the Scrum Guide prescribed the practice of placing one
improvement in the Sprint Backlog. This was removed in the 2020 update to the Scrum
Guide because it was felt to be too prescriptive. However, if this practice provides value
to you then you should adopt it. It is simply not prescribed anymore, but can still be
valuable.
