A Sprint goal shows the desired outcome of an iteration that provides a shared goal to the team, which goal has to be defined before the team starts the Sprint in order to focus to get this goal.

First of all, the Product Owner has to define clearly the objective (or goal) of the Sprint. Then the team has to implement it in order to build a “Product Increment” and last but not least the stakeholders have to validate the goal and provide their feedback.
