Question 489

Important projects in the portfolio backlog need to be delivered. Budget estimates are needed to prioritize the projects.

How should the project budgets be estimated?

    Correct Answer: A

    The project should be decomposed into features and based on the feature value and the velocity of the team, the team provides the estimate. This is because breaking down the project into smaller, manageable parts (features) and using the team's velocity gives a more accurate and realistic estimate of the resources required. The team is closest to the actual work and thus can provide the most informed estimate.

Discussion
emelbaOption: B

agree with B, only bosses decide about portfolio, not teams

aqz_111

agree B, because A is the process for story point estimation which is not budget estimation

A is right answer

rajeshtk

Agree. A is the correct answer. For any engagement, team provides the estimate.

kevindebruyne

But the team only provides the effort and time. The question is asking about estimating the budget. It should be B - Project Manager, PO & Team, I believed. Any thoughts?

B make sense. Because Budget estimate and Cost estimate are 2 different things.

A is ans

Getange

Rem, this is a portfolio backlog and prioritization is done at the portfolio level, so most likely the projects have not started. so there is no team, no product owner.

in my opinion, A is correct here

odylecOption: B

All the team of the project with the sponsor, PM and PO make the estimation of the budget. Each member make the estimation about his part collects the data and completes the estimation of the budget.

[Removed]Option: A

estimate from the team usually more accurate than the sponsor and team facilitator.

David983Option: A

1. The question doesn´t talk abuot Prject Team decide about the product backlog, it just ask about how the Project budget must be estimated ""How should the project budgets be estimated?"". 2. Budget is performed by accumulating all the Project Costs and Project Cost is performed by estimating each story user by the Project Team.

Only12goOption: A

B doesnt make sense to me why are we budgeting for the staff to get projects done, priority would be on the deliverables.

adingmakiOption: B

Based on Andrew Ramadyal, best approach the team for schedule, cost, and work estimates. B is wrong. Budget estimates are provided based on the experience of the sponsor, product owner and team facilitator 1.) Seriously? Ask the sponsor for budget estimate of YOUR project? 2.) Product Owner doesn't need to worry himself of cost. This is from PMI studyhall. IT'S THE TEAM WHO BEST KNOWS THE ESTIMATE. NOT THE SPONSOR, PRODUCT OWNER, OR THE FACILITATE. THEY ARE CONSIDERED THE SME!!!! NOT THE PROJECT LEADS!!!!

adingmaki

THE TEAM ARE CONSIDERED THE SME***
