Which option is NOT listed as one of the three key benefits of Team Sprint Goals?

• A. Transparency
• B. Alignment
• C. Program execution
• D. Provide continuous management information

Answer: (D)

Sprint Goals are meant to create a shared, visible purpose for the sprint that helps the team stay focused and coordinated with the larger program. The three benefits typically highlighted are transparency, alignment, and program execution. Transparency comes from clearly stating what the team plans to achieve in the sprint, which makes the work visible to stakeholders and other teams and reduces surprise. Alignment comes from tying the sprint goals to PI objectives and the broader roadmap, ensuring everyone understands how this sprint’s work fits into the bigger picture. Program execution refers to enabling the team to deliver a coherent increment that integrates with other teams and advances the program as a whole.

Providing continuous management information isn’t listed as a primary benefit of Sprint Goals. While the goals and progress can feed reporting, the core purpose of Sprint Goals is to improve visibility, coordination, and execution, not to serve as a continuous management data feed.
