[…] precedente. È già stata riassunta molto bene in una sola pagina da Derek Davidson nel suo Scrum Aide Memoir che si può scaricare […]
I downloaded the aide memoir. On top of the aide memoir is written ” based on the scrum guide October 2011 edn”. the aide memoir sheet says A sprint goal is defined before sprint backlog is devised. But the scrum guide says ” After the dev team forecasts the PBI it will deliver in the sprint , the scrum team crafts a sprint goal”. The scrum guide is Oct 2011 edn. These 2 are contradicting. Which is correct????
Hi Cynthia
That’s a really good question. Whenever you’re faced with any doubt over a question such as this, ALWAYS rely on the Scrum Guide. In this particular case though, you need to really understand the Scrum Guide to know that the Scrum Aide Memoir is also right. Here’s why:
Page 10 of the Scrum Guide, in the section titled ‘Part One: What will be done this Sprint?’, third paragraph, first sentence: “After the Development Team forecasts the Product Backlog items it will deliver in the Sprint, the Scrum Team crafts a Sprint Goal.”
At the top of page 14 of the Scrum Guide, in the section titled ‘Sprint Backlog’, first sentence, it reads: “The Sprint Backlog is the set of Product Backlog items selected for the Sprint plus a plan for delivering the product Increment and realizing the Sprint Goal.”
So, to create a Sprint Backlog, you do these three things, in order:
1. Select PBI’s for the Sprint
2. Devise the Sprint Goal
3. Create a plan for how you will build this functionality into a “Done” product increment
Hence why the Sprint Goal is defined before the Sprint Backlog is defined. The Scrum Aide Memoir and Scrum Guide are both correct.
Hi Derek
I am preparing for Scrum exam – I have a questions I would appriciate some feedback for:
Can the PO and SM be alocated to more than one scrum team?
Thanks.

Hi Jacob
Yes, they certainly can though their effectiveness would (obviously) be diluted.
Also, in my experience, Product Owners often have a different, full-time, role in the organization they work for. As such, finding enough time to do the PO role for one Scrum team is hard, let alone more than one!
