The correct answer is that for the most part, they’ll decrease, but may increase at times if unanticipated work is found. In general, remaining work should decrease each time an item is completed, but if there are defects or unanticipated
work, expect increases. The other responses are incorrect because remaining work will not decrease if unanticipated work is added to the scope; unless no one is working, remaining work won’t hold steady over time; after an MVP, remaining
work should not drop sharply because the time up to a release should show a steady decrease in work remaining unless scope is added.
