Certified Scrum Master (CSM) – GAQM — Question 60

When should the Product Owner ship or implement a Sprint increment?

Answer options

• A. At the end of every Sprint
• B. When the Team feels is done with every Sprint
• C. Whenever the increment is free of defects
• D. When it makes sense

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because the timing for releasing an increment should be based on strategic considerations and market readiness, rather than a strict schedule or defect status. Options A, B, and C suggest rigid criteria that do not account for the broader context of product release, which can vary based on business needs and customer feedback.
