To limit the amount of time and cost of using a contract programming firm, a product manager announces that the developers will not be paid for unrequested embellishments to the product. What should the development team and scrum master do to ensure they are paid for all their work?

  • A.Have the product manager work with the scrum master to assign specialists to user stories to meet the requirement.
  • B.Refine the definition of done (DoD) for user stories to ensure that part of the completion is a verification review of the code.
  • ✓ Correct C.Ensure that the task board is used as an information radiator and all stories have enough detail to build the required feature or function.
  • D.Convert the story points on user stories to hours to provide estimates of the potential costs to the product manager.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C. To be paid for all work, the team must build only what was requested. Using the task board as an information radiator and making sure every story has enough detail keeps the work tied to the agreed features and visible to the product manager. Assigning specialists (A) does not prevent extra work, adding a code review to the DoD (B) does not define what is requested, and converting story points to hours (D) addresses estimation, not scope.
