PMI-ACP Exam - Question 30


The team is refining user stories during the backlog grooming session and confused on the acceptance criteria and level of details.

What should the agile practitioner do?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: C

The agile practitioner's role during backlog grooming is to ensure user stories have just enough detail to facilitate continuous collaboration among team members. Over-specifying requirements can stifle flexibility and hinder the agile development process. By defining user stories with just enough details, the team can adapt and refine the specifics as they progress, ensuring a shared understanding and efficient workflow.

During the backlog grooming session, it is important to ensure that the user stories are well understood by the team. The level of detail in the acceptance criteria should be just enough to facilitate a shared understanding of what is expected of the story. This will allow the team to collaborate continuously and avoid any misunderstandings or assumptions during development.

SM not define the user stories himself. 1 vote for D

The correct answer is D. The wording of A,b and C is very tricky because they are directing the SM to perform the task. Note, SM never does any of those tasks, SM is there to make an environment in which the responsible does what he/she is supposed to do thereby the option D is the correct answer.

A - wrong. The stories are already created in the backlog, now is the grooming session. Besides that, SM doesn't create anything in the backlog (It's PO job) B - "detailed" is collides with agile. C - same as A D - correct. SM is ensuring.

I believe the purpose of grooming is to explain and clearly define user stories and tasks to avoid uncertainty and that's why I would go with C. Just give enough details on the story so the team can move on.

Question asking level of details so it has to be C

A. Completing test cases upfront: This can be time-consuming and unnecessary at this stage, potentially delaying backlog refinement and development. Test cases can be further refined as development progresses. B. Defining detailed business requirements: While ensuring alignment with business goals is crucial, focusing solely on detailed requirements at this stage might distract from understanding user needs and hinder agile flexibility. D. Focusing on exhaustive testing scenarios: While incorporating some testing information in acceptance criteria is valuable, including all scenarios upfront can be inefficient and might miss potential edge cases that emerge later.

Test Scenarios to be created by the Team based on the Acceptance Criteria. The answer D assumes that this is Agile Practitioner to create Test Scenarios. Wrong. I vote C.
