Professional Scrum Master II (PSM II) — Question 124

How much work must a Development Team do to a Product Backlog item it selects for a Sprint?

Answer options

• A. An equal amount of time on analysis, design, programming, testing and documentation.
• B. As much as it has informed the Product Owner will be done for every Product Backlog item it selects in conformance with the definition of ג€Doneג€.
• C. All development work and at least some testing.
• D. As much as it can fit into the Sprint. Any remaining work will be moved to a subsequent Sprint.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the Development Team must provide an estimate to the Product Owner regarding the effort required for each Product Backlog item, ensuring it aligns with the definition of 'Done'. Option A is incorrect as it suggests equal time across all phases, which is not necessarily how teams operate. Option C is misleading since it implies that partial testing may be acceptable, and D is incorrect because it suggests that any leftover work can simply be postponed, which may not meet the sprint goals.
