During Sprint Planning, which question is answered?

• A. What is our immediate goal?
• B. Will we meet our immediate goal?
• C. What did we produce?
• D. How can we improve?

Answer: (A)

During Sprint Planning the focus is on defining what the team aims to achieve in the upcoming sprint and deciding which work will be done to reach that objective. This centers the planning around a concrete objective for the sprint. The question being answered is: What is our immediate goal? Setting this sprint goal gives the team a clear, shared direction and helps determine which backlog items to pull into the sprint backlog and how to approach them. Other questions are addressed at different events or steps: forecasting whether the goal will be met relates to feasibility and risk assessment, while “What did we produce?” is determined during the Sprint Review, and “How can we improve?” is addressed in the Sprint Retrospective.
