CSM-001 Exam - Question 29


You are the Scrum Master and your Development Team of 6 members has completed six Sprints with the following information:

Sprint 1: 10 pontos -

Sprint 2: 11 pontos -

Sprint 3: 15 pontos -

Sprint 4: 14 pontos -

Sprint 5: 15 pontos -

Sprint 6: 10 pontos -

The remaining story points for product development total 42. What is the approximate number of Sprint required to complete product development?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: C

To determine the number of Sprints required to complete product development, we first calculate the average velocity of the team. The total story points completed in six Sprints is 75 (10 + 11 + 15 + 14 + 15 + 10), and the average velocity is 75/6 = 12.5 points per Sprint. To find out how many Sprints are needed to complete the remaining 42 story points, we divide the total remaining story points by the average velocity: 42 / 12.5 ≈ 3.36. Since we can't have a fraction of a Sprint, we round up to the nearest whole number, which gives us approximately 4 Sprints.

Should be B: i.e., 5 because - minimum that can be done in a sprint is 10. Hence for 42, atleast 5 sprints needed (assuming least per sprint is 10)

how did u derive minimum that can be done in a sprint is 10? v shud be taking of past delivered sprints. so its 75/6=12.5

B; This will be based on the worst case scenario. That is, the least pontos. so 42/10=4.2 and to nearest whole number = 5.

considering the velocity of team based on past sprints it should be 4 only

Average work done in 6 sprints - 70/6 = 11.6 rounding off to 12. remaining backlog - 42. # of sprints required 42/12 = 3.5 rounded to 4

The total completed story points from the first six sprints is: 10 + 11 + 15 + 14 + 15 + 10 = 75. The remaining story points are: 42. Adding the completed and remaining story points: 75 + 42 = 117. Now, to calculate the average story points per Sprint: 117 (total story points) / 6 (number of completed sprints) = 19.5. So, each Sprint, on average, has covered 19.5 story points. To determine the approximate number of Sprints required to complete the remaining 42 story points: 42 (remaining story points) / 19.5 (average story points per Sprint) ≈ 2.15. Since you can't have a fraction of a Sprint, rounding up gives you approximately 3 Sprints. So, the correct answer is: D. 3

The correct answer is C (4 Sprints): 75/6=12.5 ; 42/12.5= 3.36 should be rounded to 4

as we are mentioning something which is by definition unpredictable, best approach is to use montecarlo simulation. Average or last sprint is not giving any good prediction. So can be several answers
