PSM I Exam - Question 24


When must a Scrum Team release each Increment?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

In Scrum, an increment should be released when it makes sense to release it. The Product Owner, who is responsible for maximizing the product's value, makes the decision based on various factors, including business value and customer needs. While increments must be 'Done' by the end of each Sprint and be potentially releasable, they do not have to be released immediately. This approach allows for flexibility in releasing only when it brings the most value.

According to the Scrum Guide, each increment must be released at the end of each Sprint, regardless of whether or not it is shipped to customers.

Correct Answer is A. During the Sprint Product Backlog Item(s) turn into Increment(s). They meet the definition of "Done". An Increment can be released now, or later - at any given time. Releasing means putting value in the hands of customers.

Based on the Scrum Guide, the answer to the question "When must a Scrum Team release each Increment?" is: A. When it makes sense to release it. Scrum Teams are encouraged to release increments of the product as soon as it makes sense to do so, based on their product's goals and customer needs. There is no strict requirement to release after every Sprint, and it should be driven by the business value and timing considerations rather than being tied to a fixed schedule.

Answer is A. Ultimate goal of each sprint is to produce an increment of value. PO makes the decision as to if/when it is released. It is not a mandatory requirement at the end of each sprint.

Answer is D, an increment must be released at the end of each sprint. Then it can be delivered to users/market when the prod owner decides that it makes sense.

No it doesn't, it just needs to meet the definition of done. It's up to the PO to release it or not. An increment is a POTENTIALLY releasable piece of software.
