Discuss Scrum PSM-II Exam Topic 1 Question 96

During Sprint Planning, Developers work with the Product Owner to create a forecast for the Sprint. A forecast is a selection of Product Backlog items that the Developers believe are possible to get done by the end of the Sprint. Select two things that explain what done means.

(choose the best two answers)

AHaving an Increment that could be released to end users.

BAll work for which enough expertise and skills are present in the Scrum Team.

CAll work performed meets the Definition of Done.

DAll work to create an Increment that is ready for testing.
E. All work to create an Increment that is ready for acceptance testing by the
Product Owner.

Suggested Answer: A, C

Done means that the Increment is in a usable condition and meets the Scrum Team's Definition of Done. The Definition of Done is a formal description of the state of the Increment when it meets the quality measures required for the product. The Definition of Done creates transparency by providing everyone a shared understanding of what work was completed as part of the Increment. Having an Increment that could be released to end users means that it is potentially releasable, which is one of the goals of Scrum. All work performed meets the Definition of Done means that the Developers have ensured that every Product Backlog item selected for the Sprint conforms to the agreed quality standards.

Surprised that E) isn't a top choice. Isn't acceptance testing crucial?

I'm a bit confused. I feel like "B" could be relevant, but it doesn't really capture the essence of what "done" means in Scrum.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think "C" makes sense too since the Definition of Done is key for quality.
