Question 15
Olivia and her team have a complicated story coming up that unfortunately can’t be broken down into separate stories. However, the item can’t fit into one iteration – it’s too large. Most likely, Olivia will make sure her team knows that they can do what?
- A Break the item down into tasks
- B Without breaking it into separate stories, break down a complicated story into segments that can span releases
- C Review their assignment again to make sure it’s not too large
- D Fully rewrite the story to make it simpler
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The most likely scenario (and correct answer) is that the team breaks down the larger user story into segments that span releases, which couldn’t be tested until the end. The other responses are incorrect because it’s not necessary to make a user story simpler or to reassess; there’s nothing wrong with a complicated user story crossing iterations. However, the functionality won’t be usable until all segments are complete. Lastly, the break down of a user story has no effect on how it fits into an iteration.Discussion
