Appian Associate Developer (ACD100) — Question 1

In the scrum lifecycle of a project, when should the team agree on the requirements for the Definition of Done?

Answer options

• A. Before getting started on the project
• B. During the sprint retrospective
• C. During the backlog refinement
• D. After the sprint planning

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The team should define the Definition of Done before commencing the project to ensure everyone is aligned on what constitutes a completed task. Waiting until later stages, such as during the sprint retrospective or backlog refinement, could lead to misunderstandings and incomplete work. Defining it at the start helps maintain clarity and accountability throughout the project.
