QuestionQ17

Supporting Team Events

A team integrates and tests its Stories on the final day of the Iteration. This has become a recurring pattern over the past three Iterations. Why is this an anti-pattern?

  • A Because the team is waterfalling the Iteration
  • B Because the team demonstrates the full Stories to the Product Owner during the Iteration review
  • C Because the team consistently meets their commitments, and the Product Owner accepts the Stories
  • D Because it is difficult to manage dependencies with other teams
Explanation

Deferring integration and testing until the end of every Iteration creates a sequential, mini-waterfall workflow. Agile teams should integrate and test continuously so that quality is built in and problems are found early.
