Guide: Understanding the Concept of Sprints in Scrum Framework for PMI-ACP Exam
What is a Sprint?
A Sprint, in the Scrum framework, is a designated period within which a specific work has to be completed and ready for review. It typically lasts between one week to one month, with the most common duration being two weeks.
Importance of Sprints:
Sprints are vital as they set a strict time-box limit, ensuring the team remains focused and productive. They also provide frequent points of inspection and adaptation, allowing for course corrections if required.
How it Works:
Each Sprint follows a defined set of stages: planning, design/implementing/testing, and a Sprint review/retrospective. The goal is to have a potentially shippable product increment by the end of each Sprint.
Exam Tips: Answering Questions on Sprints
1. Understand what a Sprint is, how it's organized and managed, and its role in the Scrum Framework.
2. Focus on the planning and review/retrospective phases as these are commonly questioned.
3. Be aware that Sprints are time-boxed, meaning they end on the specified date whether the goal is achieved or not.
4. Remember that only the Scrum team can change the Sprint's scope under certain conditions.
5. Be familiar with factors that may lead to a Sprint cancellation and the outcomes of a cancelled Sprint.
