PMP Question 635

[admin]

A sprint burndown chart shows sudden progress near the end. What risk does this trend indicate?

A. Tasks were underestimated
B. Team ignored definition of done
C. Work was not continuously integrated
D. Velocity will likely increase next sprint

[admin]

✅ Correct Answer: C. Work was not continuously integrated

🔍 Explanation:
A. Tasks were underestimated
❌ Incorrect. Underestimation would show slow or incomplete progress overall—not necessarily a late sprint spike.

B. Team ignored definition of done
❌ Incorrect. While possible, there’s no direct evidence from the burndown alone. Other metrics or reviews would indicate this more clearly.

C. Work was not continuously integrated
✅ Correct. A sudden drop near the end often means work wasn’t integrated or tested incrementally—violating continuous delivery practices and risking quality.

D. Velocity will likely increase next sprint
❌ Incorrect. Burndown trends don’t predict future velocity directly, especially if the team is not completing work steadily.
