Your company has notified the stakeholders that they will be delivering the first
release of a new product within ten Sprints. On the seventh Sprint, the Scrum Team
discovers that they will not be able to include all of the expected features within the
first release.
The Product Owner believes if they remove some items from the Definition of Done
they will be able to accelerate the development process. The Development Team
objects to this idea as it will lead to technical debt.
As a Scrum Master, what would be the best two ways to explain to the Product
Owner the impact of technical debt?
(Choose two.)
A.
As long as there is still technical debt in the current release, feature development for
the next release cannot be started. The Product Owner must first agree to this
impact before allowing changes to the Definition of Done.
B.
Reducing the Definition of Done will introduce unknown errors as development
progresses - ANSWER: B, C
,Reducing the Definition of Done will introduce unknown errors as development
progresses and functionality is added. It also creates false assumptions about the
actual state of the system.

should create a POTENTIALLY releasable Increment.
Part of the team's Definition of "Done" requires creating or updating technical
documentation in order to maintain the product and/or features in the future. The

Product Backlog to be done in a subsequent Sprint. - ANSWER: B.

creating the documentation to make the Increment done in conformance with
their Definition of "Done."

deliver an Increment in accordance with their Definition of Done.
