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.
