Before a team can start on a sprint, they will need to:
A. create a set of iterations to work on and prioritize.

C. review the backlog of work items to prioritize.
D. take client requirements and draft them into a task list.
Study guide, 2nd edition, page 304/305: “Sprint Planning. A sprint, which is a time-bound period of work, always starts with a sprint planning meeting. During the meeting, team members choose items from the backlog to work on during the sprint”. Answer is C.
Agile project management is a method of managing projects in small,
incremental portions of work that can be easily assigned, easily
managed, and completed within a short period of time called an
iteration or sprint. Iterations or sprints (the terms are
interchangeable) are always time-bound. Typically, a sprint is a two week period but can be any short period of time defined and agreed upon by
the team.
The goal of a sprint is to produce a deliverable, or a tangible portion of a deliverable, by the end of the sprint.
Agile is a highly iterative approach where requirements can be continually defined and refined based on continuous
feedback from the product owner.
