Quality is required not only in products, but also in processes. Quality assurance refers to the evaluation of
processes and standards that govern quality management in a project to ensure that they continue to be
relevant. Quality assurance activities are carried out as part of the work. In fact, quality assurance is a
significant factor of the definition of Done. The deliverable isn't complete if appropriate quality assurance has
not been conducted. Often, quality assurance is demonstrated during the Sprint Review Meeting.

I thought QA was only for software, not processes too!

It's part of the definition of Done, can't skip it!

Wait, isn't QA just about testing the final product?

I thought Quality Assurance was more about defining what the product should be and the acceptance criteria, like in option B.

I feel like quality assurance is tied to the standards we set in projects, but I can't recall if it's specifically about the evaluation part.

I remember a practice question that mentioned something about the Scrum Team executing quality activities, which sounds similar to option C.

I think Quality Assurance is about evaluating processes, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the main focus.

Quality assurance, got it. I think the key here is understanding that it's not just about the final product, but the entire process of developing it. I'll make sure to touch on how it's evaluated during the Sprint Review.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the differences between the answer choices. I'll need to carefully read through each one to make sure I understand the nuances between quality assurance, quality control, and other quality-related concepts.

This seems like a straightforward question about quality assurance. I'll focus on the key aspects like evaluating processes, ensuring standards are relevant, and quality being part of the definition of done.

Quality assurance? More like quality insurance - you gotta have it, or your project might go up in flames! A all the way!

Clare 1 year ago

D is a bit off the mark. Quality assurance is not just about updating the backlog, it's about ensuring the quality of the actual deliverables.

Oretha 1 year ago

Ha! Quality assurance is like a never-ending game of 'spot the difference' between what was planned and what was delivered. C is the way to go!
