At the end of a Sprint Product Backlog item worked on during the Sprint does not meet the definition of "Done". What two things should happen with the undone Product Backlog item? (Choose two.)

Question

Options

• AIf the stakeholders agree, the Product Owner can accept it and release it to the users.
• BPut it on the Product Backlog for the Product Owner to decide what to do with it.
• CReview the item, add the "Done" part of the estimate to the velocity and create a Story for the
• DDo not include the item in the Increment this Sprint.

• A
  4% (2)
• B
  89% (40)
• C
  7% (3)

Explanation

When a Product Backlog item does not meet the Definition of Done by the end of the Sprint, it must (D) not be included in the Sprint Increment - the Increment must only contain work that is truly Done. The item should then (B) be returned to the Product Backlog, where the Product Owner can re-prioritize and decide its fate in future Sprints. (A) Releasing undone work - even with stakeholder agreement - violates the Definition of Done and undermines quality and transparency. (C) Partially crediting velocity for incomplete work is inaccurate and gives a false measure of throughput.
