A product owner decides to cancel a sprint midway through. When should a sprint be cancelled?
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: When the sprint goal becomes obsolete due to a significant change in business context

Explanation

Sprint cancellation is rare and should happen only when the sprint goal becomes obsolete — for example, if the business context changed dramatically (company pivots, technology becomes unavailable, major external event) making the sprint's goal no longer relevant. Not completing all sprint items is normal and does not warrant cancellation — incomplete items return to the backlog. Product owner dissatisfaction alone is not sufficient reason to cancel.
