C) Uninterrupted sprints encourage quality work
D) The Sprint Goal should guide work selection

Answer 1

The FALSE statement is that teams are encouraged to change the Sprint Goal if needed. The Sprint Goal should remain intact to maintain focus and drive productivity and quality.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that is FALSE regarding the conditions during a Sprint in agile Scrum methodology is: Teams are encouraged to change the Sprint Goal if needed. The Sprint Goal is established during the Sprint Planning meeting and provides the Development Team with a clear objective for the Sprint. Changing the Sprint Goal mid-Sprint is not encouraged as it can lead to a loss of focus and undermines the purpose of having a set goal to encourage productivity and quality. Instead, the Sprint Goal should remain intact and guide work selection, allowing the team to stay focused and undisturbed. Interruptions are avoided to ensure that the team can work efficiently and maintain a steady workflow, fostering creativity and quality throughout the development process. However, if absolutely necessary, adaptations can be made, but these should not disrupt the overarching goal agreed upon at the start of the Sprint.
