What is required when a Scrum Team says a Product Backlog item is done?
Correct Answer:
C
When a Scrum Team says a Product Backlog item isdone, it means that the item meets theDefinition of Doneagreed upon by the Scrum Team. The Definition of Done ensures that the work is complete, usable, and meets quality standards.
According to the2020 Scrum Guide:
The Definition of Done is a shared understanding of what it means for work to be complete.
If an Increment or Product Backlog item does not meet the Definition of Done, it cannot be considered part of the usable Increment.
Why the other options are incorrect:
* A. The item has been developed and tested:While development and testing are part of the process, "done" requires meeting all criteria in the Definition of Done, not just these two aspects.
* B. The item has been deployed to the production environment:Deployment is not a requirement for an item to be considered "done" in Scrum.
* D. The item meets the Definition of Done provided by the Product Owner:The Definition of Done is established by the entire Scrum Team, not the Product Owner alone.
