About this episode

This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - An Increment is the sum of all completed Product Backlog items from the current Sprint plus the value of all prior Increments. - To be considered complete, an Increment must be usable and meet all the criteria outlined in the Definition of Done (DoD). - The Definition of Done is the Scrum Team's formal, shared agreement on the quality standards that constitute a completed item. - A common exam trap is confusing a 'Done' and 'usable' Increment with a 'released' product; the Product Owner alone decides when to release value to customers. - Multiple Increments can be created within a single Sprint as soon as individual items meet the Definition of Done.
