When many Scrum Teams are working on the same product, should all of their increments be integrated every Sprint?
A . Yes, but only for Scrum Teams whose work has dependencies.
B . Yes, otherwise the Product Owners (and stakeholders) may not be able to accurately inspect what is done.
C . No, each Scrum Team stands alone.
D . No, that is far too hard and must be done in a hardening Sprint.

Answer: B

Explanation:

The correct answer is B, because the Scrum Guide states that “at the end of a Sprint, the new Increment must be ‘Done,’ which means it must be in useable condition and meet the Scrum Team’s definition of ‘Done’. An increment is a body of inspectable, done work that supports empiricism at the end of the Sprint. The increment is a step toward a vision or goal.” Therefore, all the increments from different Scrum Teams working on the same product should be integrated every Sprint to enable inspection and adaptation by the Product Owner and stakeholders.
