CST CST Definition of Done & Team Self-Organization 3

Question 1

An organization wants to apply a single Definition of Done across five teams working on the same product. Who owns this shared DoD?

Accepted Answer

All Developers across the teams collectively, with organizational input

Answer

When multiple teams share a product, the organization sets minimum DoD standards and the combined Developers agree on and own the shared DoD.

Question 2

Which practice helps a self-organizing team maintain alignment with the Sprint Goal when priorities shift mid-Sprint?

Accepted Answer

Daily Scrum

Answer

The Daily Scrum is specifically designed to inspect progress toward the Sprint Goal and adapt the plan for the next 24 hours.

Question 3

A team consistently delivers Increments but stakeholders say the quality is poor. What artifact should the CST examine first?

Accepted Answer

The Definition of Done

Answer

If stakeholders perceive quality as poor despite items being 'done,' the DoD likely lacks sufficient quality criteria to match stakeholder expectations.

Question 4

How does self-organization relate to accountability in Scrum?

Accepted Answer

The entire team is collectively accountable for the Increment's quality and value

Answer

Self-organization and collective accountability are paired—teams that decide how to work together own the results of those decisions.

Question 5

A Developer wants to release an Increment to production but several DoD items are incomplete. What should happen?

Accepted Answer

The Increment cannot be released; it is not Done

Answer

An Increment that does not meet the Definition of Done cannot be released or even presented at Sprint Review as potentially releasable.
