Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Selecting which Product Backlog items will be done in the Sprint.
Options A, B, and E are correct. Sprint Planning involves selecting Product Backlog items that will be done in the Sprint (A), defining a Sprint Goal (B), and decomposing selected items into tasks (E). Option C (creating a detailed release plan) is not part of Sprint Planning; release planning is typically a higher-level activity. Option D (estimating the effort of all items in the Product Backlog) is done during Product Backlog refinement, not Sprint Planning.
