ASM — Question 22


A Scrum Master is teaching Agile estimation techniques using Story Points to a new team. A more experienced member of the team argues that:

Is this true and what is the reason?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: D

Story Points are a relative measure of effort and complexity, while Ideal Days are an absolute measure of time. This distinction explains why the experienced team member might argue that Ideal Days are preferable. Ideal Days provide a clearer and more direct estimation by considering the actual time it will take to complete a task, which can help in maintaining the estimate and planning. On the other hand, Story Points help in planning and tracking progress by comparing tasks against each other rather than a fixed time unit, making them more flexible but less direct.
