What enhances the transparency of an Increment? (choose the best answer)
Correct Answer: B
The Definition of Done is a shared understanding of what it means for work to be complete, and ensures transparency of the quality of the work done1. The Increment is the sum of all the Product Backlog items completed during a Sprint and the value of the increments of all previous Sprints2. The Increment must be usable and potentially releasable, meaning that it meets the quality standards set by the Scrum Team and the stakeholders[3][3]. Doing all work needed to meet the Definition of Done enhances the transparency of the Increment, as it ensures that the Increment is truly done and reflects the current state of the product4. The other options do not enhance the transparency of the Increment, as they either introduce unnecessary complexity, delay, or overhead, or do not provide a clear and consistent way to measure the quality of the work done.

Question 47
True or False: All planned work for the Product done by the Scrum Team must originate from the Product Backlog.
Correct Answer: A
Explanation The Product Backlog is an ordered list of everything that is known to be needed in the product. It is the single source of truth for the Scrum Team and the stakeholders. It contains all the requirements, features, functions, enhancements, fixes, and anything else that can deliver value to the customers and users of the product. The Product Owner is accountable for managing and refining the Product Backlog, collaborating with the stakeholders and the Developers, and ordering the items in a way that best achieves goals and missions. The Product Owner represents the interests of everyone with a stake in the product and ensures that the Scrum Team works on the right things at the right time. The Developers are accountable for creating a "Done" Increment that meets the Definition of Done each Sprint. The Developers are responsible for planning and executing the Sprint Backlog, designing and building the product functionality, testing and improving the product quality, and delivering a potentially releasable Increment. The Developers work closely with the Product Owner to understand and clarify the Product Backlog items, provide feedback and estimates, and suggest improvements and innovations. All planned work for the Product done by the Scrum Team must originate from the Product Backlog. The Scrum Team does not work on anything that is not in the Product Backlog. The Scrum Team does not add or remove anything from the Product Backlog without consulting with the Product Owner. The Scrum Team does not accept or implement any requests or changes that are not in the Product Backlog. The Scrum Team does not create any other artifacts or documents that are not derived from or related to the Product Backlog.
