Question 32 - SPS discussion

The Definition of Done is a set of quality standards that apply to the Integrated Increment, which is the combined work of all the Scrum Teams in the Nexus that meets the Nexus Sprint Goal 11. The Definition of Done creates transparency and alignment among the Scrum Teams and the stakeholders, and ensures that the Integrated Increment is potentially releasable 22. The Definition of Done can evolve over time as the Nexus learns from its experience and feedback, and as the product complexity and quality expectations change 33. The best place to discuss and update the Definition of Done is at the Nexus Sprint Retrospective, which is an event that occurs at the end of the Sprint where the Nexus inspects and adapts its processes, tools, and interactions 11. The Nexus Integration Team, which is a group of people who are accountable for ensuring the integration and delivery of the Integrated Increment, is responsible for the Definition of Done, but they can involve the other Scrum Team members and stakeholders in the discussion and decision 1144. Therefore, statement C is the correct answer.

Statement A is incorrect because it implies that the Nexus Integration Team can unilaterally change the Definition of Done without consulting the other Scrum Teams or stakeholders, which would undermine the transparency and collaboration that are essential for scaling Scrum 1144. Statement B is incorrect because it suggests that the Definition of Done is owned by the larger development organization, which may not be familiar with the specific needs and challenges of the Nexus, and that the changes are communicated by stakeholders, who may not have the technical expertise or authority to do so 1144. Statement D is incorrect because it assumes that the Scrum Masters have the sole power to decide on changes to the Definition of Done, which would exclude the input and agreement of the Nexus Integration Team, the other Scrum Team members, and the stakeholders 1144.
