Question 45
You are a scrum master for a marketing development firm and working closely with your team to bring incremental value to your client by using an agile mindset. Your team has gone through several sprints and is about to start planning for their next sprint. You have collected relevant information about the team's velocity. Based on this exhibit, what would you recommend to the team to help increase the accuracy of the team's velocity?
- A Increase the quality of work in each sprint.
- B Increase the quality of estimates for story points.
- C Work only up to the sprint goal and not any further.
- D Ask the product owner to provide more accurate story points.
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: B
Explanation
As the scrum team matures, the accuracy of their work should increase with each sprint. Focusing their efforts to systematically right-size the user stories will allow the team to better plan their work in each sprint and increase the accuracy of the velocity by delivering a consistent number of story points per iteration. There is no indication that quality is suffering in the project. This answer does not address the issue of the velocity variance. The team sizes the user stories, not the product owner.Discussion
