Discuss Scrum PSM-I Exam Topic 5 Question 60

When multiple Scrum Teams are working on a single product, what best describes the

Definition of Done?

(choose the best answer)

AEach Scrum Team uses its own, but must make their definition clear to all other
teams so the differences are known.

BThe Scrum Masters from each Scrum Team define a common Definition of Done.

CWhen multiple Scrum Teams are working together on a product, they must mutually
define and comply with the same Definition of Done.

DEach Scrum Team defines and uses its own. The differences are discussed and
reconciled during a hardening Sprint.

Suggested Answer: C

The best answer is C. When multiple Scrum Teams are working on a single product, they must mutually define and comply with the same Definition of Done1. This ensures that the product has a consistent level of quality and that the Increments delivered by different teams can be integrated seamlessly. Having different Definitions of Done for each team can lead to confusion, rework, and technical debt. The Scrum Guide says that the Definition of Done is a formal description of the state of the Increment when it meets the quality measures required for the product2. Therefore, it is not something that can be decided by the Scrum Masters alone (B) or left to each team's discretion (A and D).

I’m surprised this is even a question, C feels like the obvious choice!

Wait, are we really saying B? That seems too centralized for Scrum.

D sounds a bit risky, hardening Sprints can get messy.

Oretha 11 months ago

I think A makes sense too, as long as everyone communicates.

Annabelle 11 months ago

C is definitely the way to go! Teams need to be on the same page.

I vaguely recall that having a common Definition of Done is crucial for integration, but I’m not confident about the specifics of how it should be established.

Naomi 12 months ago

I feel like option C makes the most sense since it emphasizes collaboration, but I could see why some might choose A or D instead.

I remember a practice question where we discussed how different teams might have different definitions, but that could lead to confusion.

I think the Definition of Done should be the same for all teams to ensure consistency, but I'm not entirely sure if that's what the question is asking.

This is a tricky one. I can see the appeal of option A, where each team has their own Definition, but that doesn't seem optimal for a single product. And option D about a hardening Sprint is interesting, but I'm not sure that fully addresses the core issue. I'll have to weigh the options carefully.

Okay, I've got a good handle on this. The key is that when multiple Scrum Teams are working on the Danicae product, they need to have a shared, common Definition of Done. That ensures consistency and alignment across the teams. I'm confident option C is the best answer.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The Definition of Done is an important concept, but I'm not totally clear on how it works when multiple Scrum Teams are involved. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Danica 1 year ago

This seems like a straightforward question about Scrum practices. I'll carefully read through the options and think about what I know about the Definition of Done in a multi-team Scrum environment.

The Weibull distribution is often used for reliability analysis, so that might not be the best fit here. I'll have to review the properties of the Logistic and Gaussian distributions to see if they could work.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I'll have to think it through carefully before answering.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about the differences between the two forecasting methods. I'll read through the options carefully and try to eliminate the ones that don't seem right.
