Which responsibilities are included in the developer role in an Agile team?

• A. Define - build - test and deliver stories
• B. Write business proposals
• C. Manage the entire portfolio
• D. Run the Scrum of Scrums

Answer: (A)

In Agile teams, developers are responsible for turning backlog items into a usable product by delivering a complete, tested increment within each sprint. This means they define what needs to be built in collaboration with the product owner, write the code, perform testing, and deliver the story so it meets the acceptance criteria and the team’s definition of done. This end-to-end ownership is what lets the team rapidly validate and release functionality.

The other activities described belong to different roles or levels. Writing business proposals is typically a business or product-facing task, not the day-to-day work of developers. Managing the entire portfolio sits at a higher, portfolio level rather than the team level. Running the Scrum of Scrums is a coordination practice involving multiple teams and is usually handled by Scrum Masters or the Release Train Engineer, not by developers.
