Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) — Question 78

When must a Scrum Team release each Increment?

Answer options

• A. When it makes sense to release it.
• B. When the Scrum Team finishes their work.
• C. Whenever the product is free of defects.
• D. After every Sprint, without exception.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as releasing an Increment should be based on the value it provides rather than arbitrary deadlines or completion of tasks. Options B and D imply a rigid timeline for releases, while C focuses too much on defects, which does not consider the overall value and timing of the release.
