Question 30

Nevin is an executive at Key Corporation, which is using Agile methodology to manage several projects. He asks one of the team leads why velocity of completed iterations is used to estimate the progress of the project, but duration estimates for the project’s remainder. What answer is he likely to receive?
  • A Previous iterations include all variables of development.
  • B The same team members should be on each iteration.
  • C The team is more capable of completing tasks after several iterations.
  • D The same number of user stories is completed in each iteration.
Reveal correct answer

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is that previous iterations include all variables of development.The other answers are incorrect: although consistent team membership is valuable, changes in members shouldn’t change the iteration’s velocity; since not all user stories are equally complex, the same number of stories can’t be used to predict future progress; each iteration has different tasks.
