3C's: Card, Conversation, Confirmation

Correct Answer: Encourage the team to collaboratively refine the user story, ensuring it meets the INVEST criteria and that acceptance criteria are clearly defined.

The correct approach is to encourage team collaboration for refining the user story to ensure it is well-formed and understood by all team members. This process aligns with the INVEST criteria (Independent, Negotiable, Valuable, Estimable, Small, Testable) and ensures that acceptance criteria are clearly defined for effective implementation. Option 1 diverts from collaborative refinement, option 2 disregards the team's collective knowledge and decision-making ability, and option 3 delays the planning process unnecessarily and reduces the team's involvement in resolving ambiguities.

Correct Answer: Adopt the 3Cs framework to further clarify the Card, Conversation, and Confirmation for each backlog item.

The correct answer leverages the 3Cs (Card, Conversation, Confirmation) principle, which promotes a shared understanding among team members and stakeholders through collaborative conversation, concise documentation (Card), and clear acceptance criteria (Confirmation). This method ensures clarity and shared understanding without overloading the team with unnecessary documentation or sidestepping the collaborative aspects of Scrum. The wrong answers deviate from Scrum principles by suggesting overly technical, isolating, or excessively detailed approaches that could hinder rather than help stakeholder understanding and team collaboration.

Correct Answer: Organize a workshop focusing on the principles behind Card, Conversation, and Confirmation, highlighting their role in creating effective user stories.

The correct answer emphasizes the importance of understanding and practicing the 3Cs (Card, Conversation, and Confirmation) in the development of user stories. The wrong answers, albeit related to Agile and Scrum practices, diverge from addressing the core issue of understanding and utilizing the 3Cs effectively. Increasing velocity targets or focusing solely on documentation and detailed backlog grooming without nurturing the fundamental understanding and implementation of the 3Cs can lead to misalignment with Agile principles and the essence of Scrum.
