Question

During the Sprint Retrospective, the team is discussing the quality issues that prevented the team from delivering a releasable Increment at the end of the Sprint. The Development Team does, however, mention that they were able to achieve a high velocity. What are the best two responses for Steven, their Scrum Master, to take? (Choose two.)

Options

  • AStress the value of working software over measured velocity.
  • BAgree and acknowledge the Development Team's hard work, so they will be motivated to do even
  • CAcknowledge the hard work but remind the Development Team that they need to improve in order
  • DFacilitate a discussion on how to improve the quality to a level high enough for the Increment to

Explanation

Scrum employs an iterative, incremental approach to optimize predictability and control risk. The primary objective of a Sprint (iteration) is to produce a potentially shippable product Increment. Having an Increment will allow the Scrum Team to know the right thing to do in the upcoming Sprint. Having a velocity is important but working software is the primary measure of progress.
