How does an organization know that a product built through Scrum is successful? (Choose the best answer)

Success in Scrum is tied to value delivery, not internal metrics. Option B—frequent releases with KPI

updates—aligns with Scrum’s empirical nature: "Scrum is founded on empiricism and lean thinking."

Real-world feedback refines the Product Backlog, ensuring success.

A: Velocity is an internal capacity metric, not a success indicator.

C: Time variance is irrelevant to value.

D: Acceptance at Sprint Review is a step, but not the ultimate measure of market success.

Exact Extract from Scrum Guide: "The Sprint Review is a working session and the Scrum Team should

avoid limiting it to a presentation... The Product Owner discusses the Product Backlog as it stands."

(Section: "Sprint Review") B extends this to market validation.

Thus, B is correct.
