Q

Product Backlog items that can be Done by the Scrum Team within
one Sprint are deemed ready for selection in a “…”

A

sprint planning

24
Q

Topic One: Why is this Sprint valuable?

A
  1. The Product Owner proposes how the product could increase its
    value and utility in the current Sprint.
  2. The whole Scrum Team then collaborates to define a Sprint Goal
    that communicates why the Sprint is valuable to stakeholders.
  3. The Sprint Goal is created during the Sprint Planning event and then added to the Sprint Backlog
  4. The Sprint Goal must be finalized prior to the end of Sprint Planning.
25
Q

Topic Two: What can be Done this Sprint?

A
  1. Through discussion with the Product Owner, the Developers select
    items from the Product Backlog to include in the current Sprint
  2. The Scrum Team may refine these items during this process, which
    increases understanding and confidence.
  3. The more the Developers know about their past performance, their upcoming capacity, and their Definition of Done, the more confident they will be in their Sprint forecasts
26
Q

Topic Three: How will the chosen work get done?

A
  1. For each selected Product Backlog item, the Developers plan the
    work necessary to create an Increment that meets the Definition of
    Done
  2. This is often done by decomposing Product Backlog items into
    smaller work items of one day or less (common practice is to create
    various “tasks” for the work involved to turn the PBI to an Increment)
  3. How this is done is at the sole discretion of the Developers. No one else tells them how to turn Product Backlog items into Increments of value
