Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) — Question 127

Why does the Product Owner want the Development Team to adhere to its definition of `Done`?

Answer options

• A. To have complete transparency into what has been done at the end of each Sprint.
• B. To be able to reprimand the team when they don't meet their velocity goal for the Sprint.
• C. To know what the team will deliver over the next three Sprints.
• D. To predict the team's productivity over time.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because adhering to the definition of `Done` allows the Product Owner to have a clear understanding of what work has been completed at the end of each Sprint, ensuring transparency. Options B, C, and D focus on punitive measures, future projections, or productivity estimates, which do not align with the primary goal of maintaining clarity and transparency in completed work.
