In which phase do developers estimate how much work to take on in a Sprint?

Backlog Refinement
Daily Standup
Sprint Review
Sprint Planning

The correct answer is: Sprint Planning

The correct phase in which developers estimate how much work to take on in a Sprint is during Sprint Planning. This event is crucial for the Scrum team as it allows them to review the prioritized items from the product backlog and assess their capacity for the upcoming Sprint. The team discusses each item, clarifies requirements, and ultimately makes estimates in terms of effort or complexity, which helps in deciding how much work can realistically be committed to. In this phase, the collaboration between the Product Owner and the development team is vital, as the Product Owner presents the backlog items and the team provides insights on estimations. This ensures that the team takes on a manageable amount of work that aligns with their capabilities and the Sprint goal, promoting a successful outcome for the sprint. Backlog Refinement involves refining and prioritizing the product backlog but is not specifically focused on estimating work for a Sprint. The Daily Standup is a synchronization meeting to discuss progress and blockers but does not involve making decisions about how much work to take on. The Sprint Review is held at the end of the Sprint to inspect the increment and adapt the product backlog, not to estimate or plan future work.
