YDS: Do Most Scrum Teams Have a Sprint Goal?

Join this channel to get access to the perks and exclusive videos:

In this video, Ryan and Todd discuss the importance of having a clear Sprint goal in Scrum teams. While it is common for teams not to have a Sprint goal, lacking a goal suggests a lack of alignment on higher-level goals, such as a product or a strategic goal. The speaker suggests defining a product goal and creating a clear, concise, concrete step towards achieving it in the Sprint. Clear goals are essential as they drive behavior and measurement in an office environment.

Todd and Ryan also co-authored a book - Fixing Your Scrum: Practical Solutions to Common Scrum Problems.

When there is no clear product goal, it can be hard to set a relevant sprint goal. Working with our PO to clarify the goal has been surprisingly challenging. Great video, thank you 🙏

I agree with your answer. But in my team we have an interesting situation. We have product goal and the team wishes to have a sprint goal. But the challenge is that our team is working on quite different topics in a sprint. For example topic A may be irrelevant to topic A. If we define our sprint goal based on topic A, then it may be related to 40% of the PBI. Rest 60% may not be related to the sprint goal. How to handle this situation? Looking forward your answer or a video :)
