Which statement is least accurate when providing a definition of "Done"? (Choose the best answer)

AIt is the exit criteria to determine whether a Product Backlog item is complete

BIt may vary depending on the project

CIt is defined by the Scrum Master

DIt becomes more complete over time

Suggested Answer: C

The Definition of 'Done' is a team or organizational standard, not the Scrum Master's sole responsibility. The Scrum Guide states: 'If it is not an organizational standard, the Scrum Team must create a Definition of Done appropriate for the product.'

A: Accurate---it defines completion.

B: True---it can differ by context or product.

C: Least accurate---the Scrum Team or organization defines it, not just the Scrum Master.

D: Correct---it evolves with maturity.

Exact Extract from Scrum Guide: 'The Definition of Done is a formal description of the state of the Increment when it meets the quality measures required for the product... If it is not an organizational standard, the Scrum Team must create [it].' (Section: 'Definition of Done')

Thus, C is correct.

B makes sense too, it can change by project.

A is pretty clear, it's about exit criteria.

Agreed, the Scrum Master doesn't define it alone.

"Isn't 'done' supposed to be consistent? Surprised by that!"

B is the correct answer. The definition of "Done" can vary depending on the project, team, and organization.

Valene 8 months ago

Haha, the Scrum Master defining "Done"? That's like the teacher telling the students what they learned!

Jade 8 months ago

Option D is the most accurate. The definition of "Done" should become more complete and refined over the course of the project.

Sena 9 months ago

Option C is definitely the least accurate. The Scrum Master doesn't define "Done", the team does!

Paris 9 months ago

I’m a bit confused about D; I thought "Done" should be consistent and not change too much over time.

Filiberto 9 months ago

I think I saw a practice question that mentioned exit criteria, so A seems pretty accurate to me.

Hester 9 months ago

I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like "Done" should be defined by the team, not just the Scrum Master.

Antione 9 months ago

I remember discussing how "Done" is supposed to be a shared understanding among the team, so I think C might be the least accurate.

Laurena 9 months ago

I'm a bit confused on this one. I know the "Definition of Done" is important, but I'm not totally sure how to apply it to this question. I might have to guess on this one.

Lenny 10 months ago

I'm leaning towards D. The "Definition of Done" is supposed to become more comprehensive as the project progresses, right? That's how I remember it from the Scrum guide.

Willis 10 months ago

Okay, let me think this through. The "Definition of Done" is the exit criteria, so A seems right. But it does get more complete over time, so D could also be a good answer.

Chantay 10 months ago

"Done means meeting exit criteria for backlog items."

Gladys 10 months ago

I think C is the least accurate.

Madonna 11 months ago

I agree, the Scrum Master's role is to facilitate, not dictate the definition of "Done".

Herschel 11 months ago

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. The "Definition of Done" can definitely vary depending on the project, so I'm thinking B might be the best answer.

Lettie 11 months ago

I think the answer is C. The Scrum Master doesn't define the "Definition of Done" - that's up to the whole Scrum team.
