Wait, are we really saying it's not the Scrum Team's responsibility? That seems off.

I disagree, D seems too dismissive of the team's role.

C is definitely the way to go! Every Increment should meet those requirements.

Honestly, I thought non-functional requirements were just a given for every Increment.

A sounds reasonable, but isn't it risky to leave them for the Integration Sprint?

I’m leaning towards "C" too, but I wonder if it’s realistic to ensure every Increment meets all non-functional requirements.

I feel like "A" could work, but it might not be the best approach since it suggests waiting until the Integration Sprint.

I remember a practice question where we discussed the importance of addressing non-functional requirements throughout the development process. "C" seems to align with that.

I think non-functional requirements should be integrated into each Increment, but I'm not sure if "C" is the best choice.

Hmm, I'm not sure about that. Shouldn't the Scrum Team be responsible for ensuring the non-functional requirements are met? That seems like a core part of their job.

I think the answer is to make sure the release department understands these requirements, but it's not the Scrum Team's responsibility. We should focus on delivering the functionality.

I'm a bit confused. Should we really be managing non-functional requirements separately from the regular work? That doesn't seem very Agile to me.

Okay, I've got this. The key is to ensure every Increment meets the non-functional requirements. That's the best way to deal with them in Scrum.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about the Scrum principles and how they apply to non-functional requirements.

I think managing non-functional requirements during the Integration Sprint makes sense, as it allows for early identification and resolution of any issues.

I believe assigning non-functional requirements to lead developers could lead to silos. It's better to have the whole team responsible for them.

C) Ensure every Increment meets them. Duh, it's Scrum 101. The whole team has to work together to meet all the requirements, functional or not.

C) Ensure every Increment meets them. That's the way to go! The Scrum Team is responsible for delivering a working product, and non-functional requirements are just as important as the functional ones.
