A Development Team selects a set of Product Backlog items for a Sprint Backlog with the intent to get the selected items "Done" by the end of the Sprint. Which three phrases best describe the purpose of a definition of "Done"? (Choose three.)

It creates transparency over the work inspected at the Sprint Review.

Select two ways in which technical debt impacts transparency. (Choose two.)

It leads to false assumptions about the current state of the system, specifically of an Increment being releasable at the end of a Sprint.

As development progresses and code is added, the system becomes more difficult to stabilize, which results in future work being slowed down in unpredictable ways.

When calculated and estimated, the total amount of technical debt shows exactly how long until the Product Owner can release the Increment.

It leads to false assumptions about the current state of the system, specifically of an Increment being releasable at the end of a Sprint.

As development progresses and code is added, the system becomes more difficult to stabilize, which results in future work being slowed down in unpredictable ways.

Marian is the Product Owner envisioning a project for a new release of her product. She made a projection of a release date based upon a sustained velocity of 17 completed units of work per Sprint. Over the first 3 Sprints, the average velocity was 13 for work that the Development Team estimated as 90% done. The Development Teams, feeling the need to meet the plan, figured that a velocity of 17 was within their reach.A good way to continue is:

The Development Team makes sure that all of the selected scope per Sprint is as "Done" as possible. The undone work is estimated and added to the SprintBacklog of the next Sprint, so it doesn't mess up the Product Backlog.

Add enough people to the Development Team for the deadline to be made.

The opportunity to inspect and adapt is lost. Opaqueness has replaced transparency. Predictability has dropped below zero. The produced software is not usable. As the rules of Scrum have not been respected, it is the Scrum Master'sduty to assess whether repair is possible, or a restart with a more reliable team. If not, the Scrum Master should cancel the project.

The Development Team should remind Marian to find funding for enough Release Sprints in which the remaining work can be done.
