Which of the following is NOT an expectation for a Product increment?

Agile delivery expects each increment to be usable, meet the agreed quality bar (Definition of Done), and move the product toward its goal. AgilePM’s incremental, timeboxed approach stresses that every slice should be demonstrably valuable or verifiable, with acceptance criteria satisfied and quality never compromised. However, increments in an evolving solution are typically additive and cumulative; they build upon prior work to extend capability. Requiring that an increment be independent of all others is unnecessary and often impractical for integrated solutions. What matters is that it is coherent, tested, and acceptable to stakeholders within the agreed standards. Thus, options A, C, and D describe standard expectations for an increment in AgilePM/Scrum-aligned practice, whereas B does not. Therefore, B is the correct “NOT” choice.
