QuestionQ140

Delivery

Two teams received the project requirements and completed their estimates. Team A estimates 420 story points for scope and a velocity of 30 story points per sprint.

Team B estimates 280 story points for scope and a velocity of 20 story points per sprint. Both teams have the same number of team members and assume a sprint duration of 2 weeks.

What can an agile practitioner conclude about Team A’s and Team B’s estimates?

  • A Team B has underestimated scope compared to team A
  • B Team A is more confident in delivering velocity than team B
  • C Both teams need to indicate their proposed technology before the estimates can be analyzed
  • D Both teams have estimated the project to be of same size
Explanation

Each team forecasts 14 sprints to complete its scope: 420 ÷ 30 and 280 ÷ 20 both equal 14. With the same team size and sprint duration, the estimates indicate the same project size in terms of planned delivery effort and time, even though their story-point scales and velocities differ.
