QuestionQ173

Product

During the backlog refinement meeting, a new developer asks the product owner to discuss a new performance-threshold requirement and its effect on the stories in the backlog.

What should the team do?

  • A Add this threshold requirement request as acceptance criteria in all impacted stories
  • B Create a spike story to analyze the impact of the threshold requirement on current stories
  • C Conduct design planning session to review the performance threshold requirement
  • D Identify the tasks for the new performance threshold requirement
Explanation

Performance thresholds are nonfunctional requirements that must be testable for every affected backlog item. Adding the threshold as acceptance criteria to all impacted stories makes the requirement visible, estimable, and verifiable as part of each story’s definition of acceptable behavior.
