Agile Testing Methods, Techniques and Tools

Which of the following statements about the Planning Poker test-estimation technique are CORRECT?

i) Planning Poker is a consensus-based technique that uses a deck of cards.

ii) A low test estimate usually indicates that the story should be divided into multiple smaller stories.

iii) A high test estimate usually indicates that the story should be divided into multiple smaller stories.

iv) One poker round is played, after which consensus must be reached.

v) The risk level for each backlog item should be determined before the poker session.

Explanation

Planning Poker is a consensus-based card-estimation technique. A high estimate often means that a story is not well understood or should be broken into smaller stories. When estimates differ, the team discusses them and repeats rounds until agreement is reached or predefined rules limit the number of rounds. Including each backlog item’s risk level before the session is advisable because risk affects the estimation context.
