Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 262

A project is ongoing and the team is demonstrating the delivery to the product owner based on the definition of done (DoD). However, the product owner is complaining about the product quality, claiming that the increment was not delivered as per the DoD.

In this context, what does “done” mean?

Answer options

• A. Product must be ready to market.
• B. Product must be tested by the scrum master.
• C. Product must be prototyped after demonstration.
• D. Product must be in a usable condition.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because 'done' refers to the product being in a usable state, meaning it meets the necessary criteria to be functional. Options A, B, and C do not accurately reflect the essence of the definition of done, which focuses on usability rather than market readiness, specific testing, or prototyping.
