A public-health clinic check-in Increment meets the Definition of Done, but the health officer wants to wait two months to batch a big launch. What should the Product Owner ensure about the Increment itself?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Releasable is a quality of the Increment, not a calendar appointment. Think of a fire extinguisher that is ready even if nobody pulls the pin today. The health officer can wait to launch; the Increment still has to be fit to go.
Full Explanation
Each Increment should be a usable, Done, potentially releasable step toward the Product Goal. Whether the organization chooses to release is a business decision the Product Owner influences, but that decision must not be used to leave quality undone. Deferring privacy checks or parking work in a hardening environment until a launch date recreates an undone clinic product. Readiness to release and the act of releasing are separate.
