Question

Options

• ATurn the Product Backlog items it selects into a potentially releasable product increment of
• BDo all of the development work in order to handoff to the testers in the subsequent Sprint.
• CComplete the project within the estimate as committed to the Product Owner.

• A
  93% (28)
• B
  3% (1)
• C
  3% (1)

Explanation

Option A is correct because, per the Scrum Guide, the Development Team must possess all the skills necessary to convert selected Product Backlog items into a "Done," potentially releasable Increment each Sprint - this self-sufficiency is a core principle of Scrum. Option B is wrong because Scrum does not separate development from testing across Sprints; the team integrates all work (including testing) within a single Sprint, with no handoff phase. Option C is wrong because Scrum does not operate on fixed project estimates or commitments to the Product Owner - Scrum embraces empiricism, and the team commits to Sprint Goals, not project deadlines.

Memory tip: Think "cross-functional and self-organizing" - the Development Team owns the full slice of work from backlog to releasable increment, every Sprint, with no dependencies on external specialists or handoffs.
