PMI-ACP Question #513: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is C: A risk of not creating a potentially shippable product occurs. In Scrum, each Sprint should produce a 'Done' Increment — a potentially releasable product. Testing is typically part of the Definition of Done. If testing is incomplete, the Increment may not meet the Definition of Done, which means the product may not be in a shippable state.
Question
What happens if all the necessary testing doesn't occur in a Sprint?
Options
- AThe User Story is moved to the next Sprint
- BAdditional testers are added in the next Sprint
- CA risk of not creating a potentially shippable product occurs
- DThe Burndown chart is updated
Explanation
In Scrum, each Sprint should produce a 'Done' Increment — a potentially releasable product. Testing is typically part of the Definition of Done. If testing is incomplete, the Increment may not meet the Definition of Done, which means the product may not be in a shippable state. This creates delivery risk. Stories are not simply moved to the next Sprint as a routine practice, and adding testers or updating burndown charts do not address the core problem. The team should prevent this by ensuring the Definition of Done is realistic and achievable within the Sprint.
