QuestionQ307

Delivery

On a complex project with a high degree of uncertainty, the team’s velocity is decreasing. Testing reveals that many work items reported as complete do not meet the stakeholders’ requirements.

Which of the following could help resolve the incomplete work?

  • A Conduct a spike so that the team can focus on defect repair without the distraction of new work items.
  • B Create a burndown chart to ensure the team understands the variance between the current and target velocity.
  • C Work with the product owner to reduce the complexity of the work so that the team can improve quality.
  • D Work with the team to ensure that acceptance criteria is being properly defined and understood.
Explanation

Properly defined and commonly understood acceptance criteria clarify the stakeholder conditions a work item must satisfy before it can be accepted as complete. This creates a shared standard for completion and prevents work that fails required quality or functionality from being reported as done. The Scrum Guide likewise requires a shared Definition of Done and states that work not meeting it cannot be considered part of an Increment.
