a) True 
b) False

b) False

There are still planning activities in Scrum. Though there is no detailed long-term planning for a complete project, the planning is done for short-term Sprints. Within Sprint, the Developers further plans work for the next 24 hours in the Daily Scrum, by inspecting the work since the last Daily Scrum and forecasting upcoming Sprint work. This is a more realistic approach, and continuous planning allows the team to be agile enough to pro-actively look for changes and respond to the changes. Correct answer is ‘b.’
