Discuss Scrum PSPO-I Exam Topic 2 Question 31

Which of the following is an example of an Increment?

(choose the best answer)

AA plan for the overall product release.

BA mock-up of the product marketing materials.

CA design for the product.

DA product roll-out plan.

EA valuable, useful set of product features.

FAll of the above.

Suggested Answer: E

An Increment is the sum of all the Product Backlog items completed during a Sprint and the value of the increments of all previous Sprints.1An Increment is a concrete, tangible, and usable outcome of the work done by the Developers in a Sprint. It is not a plan, a mock-up, a design, or a roll-out plan, as these are not valuable or useful products in themselves.An Increment must meet the definition of ''Done'', which means it must adhere to the quality standards agreed upon by the Scrum Team and the stakeholders.1An Increment must also be potentially releasable, which means it must be in a state that it could be delivered to the customer or user if the Product Owner decides so.1

I think E really captures what an increment should be!

Shawnda 10 months ago

Wait, are we sure about that? Seems too vague.

Walton 10 months ago

An increment is usually a set of features.

Aleisha 10 months ago

A plan or mock-up isn't really an increment, though.

Sherron 10 months ago

Totally agree, E is the best choice!

Carey 11 months ago

I feel like I’ve seen something similar before, and it emphasized that increments are tangible features. So, I think E is the best choice here.

Sonia 11 months ago

I’m confused because I thought increments could include plans too, but now I’m not so sure. Maybe I should go with E since it sounds more specific.

Cecil 11 months ago

I remember a practice question that mentioned increments as parts of a product that add value. I’m not sure if that means E is definitely right, though.

Maynard 11 months ago

I think an Increment is more about the actual features delivered rather than plans or mock-ups, so I’m leaning towards E.

Noemi 12 months ago

I've got this! An Increment is a specific set of product features that can be delivered and tested independently. Option E is the correct answer.

Blossom 12 months ago

Based on my understanding, an Increment is a smaller, valuable set of features that can be delivered incrementally. I think option E is the best answer.

Jaclyn 12 months ago

I'm a bit confused on this one. Is an Increment the same as a product release plan? I'm not entirely sure.

Lou 1 year ago

Okay, let's see. I'm pretty sure an Increment is a specific set of product features, so I'm leaning towards option E.

Kattie 1 year ago

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about the definition of an Increment to determine the best answer.

Emmanuel 1 year ago

Haha, I bet the correct answer is E. Anything else would be like calling a cake 'an increment' - it's just not the right term!

Flo 1 year ago

But isn't a product roll-out plan also an example of an increment, as it helps in delivering the product to the market?

Theola 1 year ago

I agree with Leanna, because an increment should deliver value to the customer.

Susana 1 year ago

This question is a bit tricky, but I agree with E. An increment is all about the actual product improvements, not the planning or marketing stuff.

I see your point, but I still think E is the most accurate choice for an increment.

Maile 1 year ago

I disagree, I think F is the correct answer because it includes all aspects of the product development process.

Kristine 1 year ago

↳ replying to Susana

I think E is the best answer too. It's all about the actual product features.

Zona 1 year ago

Hmm, I was leaning towards F, but E makes sense. Why would a plan or design be considered an increment?

I'm not sure, but I think E sounds right. Isn't an increment like a new version or update with new features?

Lera 1 year ago

↳ replying to Rueben
