AThey are discussed, determined, and documented before the actual feature development Sprints.

CThey are added to the Product Backlog and addressed in early Sprints, while always requiring at least some business functionality, no matter how small.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B, C

Architecture and infrastructure are handled in Scrum by implementing them along with functional development of the product, and by adding them to the Product Backlog and addressing them in early Sprints, while always requiring at least some business functionality, no matter how small, as stated in [2]: ''Scrum does not distinguish between developing functionality or architecture. They are developed together, as they are both important and support each other. Architecture is not a separate phase; it is part of the product development. Architecture is added to the Product Backlog as any other feature or functionality.''

Separate teams for architecture? Not sure that’s the best approach.

I think they should be documented first, though.

I definitely remember that they need to be addressed early on, so C sounds right. But I’m a bit confused about whether B is also correct.

I feel like we discussed that they shouldn't be fully determined before Sprints, so A seems wrong. But I can't recall if D is about a separate team or not.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about adding them to the Product Backlog. Could option C be one of the answers?

I feel confident I can answer this question. Scrum emphasizes iterative development, so I believe the answer lies in how that approach impacts architecture and infrastructure.

A and C, for sure. You can't just slap on the architecture at the end, gotta get that stuff mapped out early on.

This is a tricky one, but I think the right answers are B and D. A separate team building an architectural runway makes the most sense to me.

Definitely B and D. Architecture and infrastructure need to be implemented along with the functional development to ensure the product can actually be built.
