The team is refining user stories during the backlog grooming session and confused on the acceptance criteria and level of details. What should the agile practitioner do?
A.
Complete the test cases before creating the story in the backlog
B.
Define the detailed business requirements so that the team can continue with development
C.
Define the user stories with just enough details so the team can collaborate continuously
D.
Ensure the acceptance criteria includes testing scenarios, so the team can do through testing
The agile practitioner should define the user stories with just enough details so the team can collaborate continuously. This approach aligns with the principles of Agile methodologies, which emphasize collaboration, flexibility, and iterative development.
The correct answer is D. The wording of A,b and C is very tricky because they are directing the SM to perform the task. Note, SM never does any of those tasks, SM is there to make an environment in which the responsible does what he/she is supposed to do thereby the option D is the correct answer.
Test Scenarios to be created by the Team based on the Acceptance Criteria. The answer D assumes that this is Agile Practitioner to create Test Scenarios. Wrong. I vote C.
A. Completing test cases upfront: This can be time-consuming and unnecessary at this stage, potentially delaying backlog refinement and development. Test cases can be further refined as development progresses.
B. Defining detailed business requirements: While ensuring alignment with business goals is crucial, focusing solely on detailed requirements at this stage might distract from understanding user needs and hinder agile flexibility.
D. Focusing on exhaustive testing scenarios: While incorporating some testing information in acceptance criteria is valuable, including all scenarios upfront can be inefficient and might miss potential edge cases that emerge later.
During the backlog grooming session, it is important to ensure that the user stories are well understood by the team. The level of detail in the acceptance criteria should be just enough to facilitate a shared understanding of what is expected of the story. This will allow the team to collaborate continuously and avoid any misunderstandings or assumptions during development.
I believe the purpose of grooming is to explain and clearly define user stories and tasks to avoid uncertainty and that's why I would go with C. Just give enough details on the story so the team can move on.
A - wrong. The stories are already created in the backlog, now is the grooming session. Besides that, SM doesn't create anything in the backlog (It's PO job)
B - "detailed" is collides with agile.
C - same as A
D - correct. SM is ensuring.
