Pick an answer below — you'll get the explanation instantly, no signup.

A product owner is defining the sprint goal but struggles to articulate it beyond 'complete stories X, Y, and Z.' The Scrum Master challenges them to define a better sprint goal. What makes a good sprint goal?
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A statement of purpose that explains the value the sprint will deliver and could still be achieved even if some specific stories are not completed

Explanation

A good sprint goal expresses the PURPOSE and VALUE of the sprint, not just a task list. For example: 'Enable users to complete the checkout process end-to-end' is a sprint goal — the team might accomplish it through multiple stories, but the goal guides decisions if stories take longer than expected. A goal-oriented sprint allows the team to make trade-offs (skip a story, add a workaround) while staying aligned with the goal's intent.
