True or False: The Scrum Team must choose at least one high priority process improvement item during the Sprint Retrospective to place in the Sprint Backlog.

True
False
True, but it is not mandatory
False; they can choose any items

The correct answer is: False

The statement is false because while the Scrum Team is encouraged to identify and discuss process improvement items during the Sprint Retrospective, there is no obligation for them to select at least one high priority item to include in the Sprint Backlog. The purpose of the Retrospective is for the team to reflect on their process and identify areas for improvement, but how they choose to act on those items is at their discretion. The Scrum framework emphasizes the importance of continuous improvement, but it also allows teams the flexibility to decide what they want to focus on in subsequent Sprints. Therefore, it’s perfectly acceptable for a Scrum Team to identify improvement opportunities without committing to implementing any in the following Sprint. This makes the correct answer clear—it’s not a requirement to add something to the Sprint Backlog after the Retrospective.
