PSM-1 practice question 13 of 35

True or False: The purpose of a Sprint Is lo produce a valuable useful Inclement.

Full set: 298 questions
Answer options
A: True
B: False
Correct Answer:
TRUE
Explanation

The primary purpose of a Sprint is to turn ideas into value by creating a "Done," usable, and potentially releasable product Increment. The 2020 Scrum Guide explicitly states that the entire Scrum Team is accountable for creating a valuable and useful Increment in every Sprint. This Increment is the tangible outcome of the Sprint's work and represents a concrete step toward achieving the Product Goal.

Why Incorrect

The option "False" is incorrect because it contradicts the core definition and purpose of a Sprint within the Scrum framework. A Sprint is not simply a time-box for completing tasks; its fundamental objective is the delivery of a coherent, valuable, and useful Increment of the product. Failing to produce such an Increment means the Sprint has not achieved its primary goal.
