What is the significance of the Sprint Goal, and how do you define it?

Purpose:

The Sprint Goal provides focus and alignment for the team. It serves as a shared

objective for the Sprint, guiding decisions and trade-offs.

Defining a good Sprint Goal:

• Collaboratively set during Sprint Planning.
• Clear, concise, and focused on outcome, not just output.
• Tied to business or customer value.

Example:

Instead of “build three reports,” a better Sprint Goal would be:

✅ “Enable users to access key sales insights through interactive reports.”
