Who is responsible for creating the Sprint Goal?

Creating the Sprint Goal is a collaborative effort involving the entire Scrum Team during Sprint Planning. This joint approach ensures that all perspectives are considered, and it leverages the collective understanding of the team's capabilities and the Product Owner's vision for the product. During this meeting, the team discusses the prioritized items from the Product Backlog and aligns on a common objective for the upcoming Sprint, which becomes the Sprint Goal.

This collaboration is crucial as it fosters a shared commitment and understanding among team members about the work to be accomplished. It allows the team to establish clear focus and direction, which is essential for maximizing productivity and delivering value within the Sprint. The Sprint Goal serves as a guiding light throughout the Sprint, helping the team to make decisions about what to prioritize and ensuring that the work aligns with the overall objectives of the Product Owner.
