When does the next Sprint begin? (choose the best answer)

Question

• DWhen the Product Owner is ready.

• A
  3% (1)
• B
  86% (25)
• C
  3% (1)
• D
  7% (2)

Explanation

Sprints are continuous and back-to-back with no gap - the moment one Sprint ends, the next begins immediately, making B the only correct answer per the Scrum Guide. A is wrong because the Sprint Review happens within the Sprint's final days, not between Sprints; there is no mandatory waiting period after it. C is wrong because Sprint Planning is the first event of the new Sprint, not a prerequisite that must conclude before the Sprint starts - the Sprint begins, then Planning happens. D is wrong because the Product Owner has no authority to delay a Sprint's start; Sprints run on a fixed cadence regardless of stakeholder readiness.

Memory tip: Think of Sprints like train cars on a track - they are coupled end-to-end with no space between them. One car ends, the next begins instantly.
