About this episode

This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - The three essential components of the Sprint Backlog: the Why (Sprint Goal), the What (selected items), and the How (the plan). - Why the Developers, not the Product Owner, own the Sprint Backlog and can adapt it throughout the Sprint. - How the Sprint Goal provides flexibility, allowing the scope to be negotiated as long as the core objective is met. - The specific and rare condition for cancelling a Sprint: only when the Sprint Goal becomes obsolete. - The exclusive authority of the Product Owner to cancel a Sprint, a common topic for exam questions.
