Correct answers: A, B
Explanation
Velocity is a measure of the amount of work a team can complete in a Sprint and is not directly indicative of value delivered. Each Scrum team's velocity is specific to that team and should not be compared across teams as it can vary based on various factors, including team composition, complexity of work, and available resources.Discussion
