What is typically included in the definition of done for the team increment?

Question

Options

• AStories are accepted by Product Management
• B45 new questions addStories are accepted by the Product Owner
• CCustomer documentation is ready
• DRegression testing is done

• A
  4% (1)
• B
  93% (26)
• C
  4% (1)

Explanation

In SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework), the Product Owner (PO) operates at the team level and is specifically responsible for accepting stories within the team increment - making this the standard criterion in the team-level Definition of Done.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is incorrect because Product Management works at the program/ART level, accepting features, not stories. Confusing Product Owner with Product Management is a classic exam trap.
• C (Customer documentation ready) is typically part of a Release or Program Increment DoD, not the team increment - it's a higher-level concern.
• D (Regression testing done) also belongs to the System Team or Program level DoD, where integration and regression testing across teams occurs, not within a single team increment.

Memory tip: Think of it as ownership matching scope - the Product Owner owns team-level stories (PO → Team → Stories), while Product Management owns program-level features. If the question mentions "stories accepted," the answer involves the Product Owner, not Product Management.
