Agile Analysis Certification (AAC) — Question 90

When decomposing stories, the concept of “breadth before depth” signifies progressively breaking down:

Answer options

• A. Estimates and resources required to accomplish the story
• B. Backlog items to the lowest level of detail upfront
• C. Business goals into user stories representing smaller increments of value
• D. Tests to align with usable functionality delivered through each story

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because 'breadth before depth' emphasizes understanding the overall business goals by creating user stories that deliver incremental value. The other options focus on aspects such as estimates, detail levels, or testing, which do not align with the concept of breaking down stories in terms of business value.
