Question
What happens if the Development Team cannot complete its work by the end of the Sprint?
Options
- AThe Sprint is extended and future Sprints use this new duration.
- BThe Sprint length holds and the Development Team continuously learns what is actually possible

Explanation
In Scrum, Sprints are time-boxed and their length never changes mid-Sprint or as a result of incomplete work. If the Development Team cannot finish all selected work, the Sprint still ends on time. The unfinished items return to the Product Backlog. This is a key learning opportunity - the team refines its forecasting and improves how it selects work in future Sprint Planning sessions. Options A and C both incorrectly suggest extending the Sprint, which violates Scrum's time-boxing principle.
