Agile Analysis Certification (AAC) — Question 109

As part of the initial discussions, the team agrees that the "I" in the INVEST criteria for ensuring quality in user stories represents:

Answer options

• A. Independent - a feature that can be delivered independent of other features
• B. Iteration it will be picked up is specified
• C. Information - all required attributes about the story are identified
• D. Impact - the interdependence of one story on another is specified

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as 'Independent' indicates that a user story should be self-sufficient and not reliant on other stories for completion. The other options do not reflect the correct meaning of the 'I' in INVEST; B and C refer to different aspects of user stories, while D incorrectly associates 'I' with interdependence, which contradicts the purpose of the INVEST criteria.
