What is a Sprint Goal?
Sprint goal is a clear set of aims and objectives to be achieved in a particular sprint when the task is implemented. These goals are collaboratively decided by the product owner and the development team right at the beginning of the sprint. Sprint goals should be specific, clear, and measurable in order to deliver overall strategic objectives.
A clear goal setting for the sprint gives direction for a sprint. If at any point, the work diverts from the sprint goals, it acts as a torch bearer to keep track and return to the original path. An effective sprint goal can also help to manage the stakeholders.
