The Salesforce delivery team at Cloud Kicks consistently has user stories that developers
start but are unable to complete during each sprint. During the most recent retrospective,
the development team expressed that they are running out of time to complete the stories.
The team used the INVEST checklist to diagnose why these stories are incomplete at the
end of the sprint.
Which checklist item is the most likely reason why the stories are incomplete at the close of
the sprint?
A. Negotiable
B. Valuable
C. Small
C. Small
Explanation:
The checklist item that is the most likely reason why the stories are incomplete at the close of the sprint is small. Small means that a user story should be
simple and concise, and it should be able to be completed within a single sprint by a single
developer or a small team. A user story that is too large or complex may be difficult to
estimate, prioritize, test, or deliver within the sprint timeframe. A user story that is too small
may be trivial, redundant, or irrelevant to the project goals. A user story that is not small
enough may need to be broken down into smaller and more manageable chunks.
