Question 9 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.
