A backwards path calculation estimates that the last work package will be completed 24 days from this coming Monday. The scrum team operates in two-week sprints.
How many sprints are needed to complete the work?
The total time needed to complete the last work package is 24 days. Since a scrum team's sprint is 14 days (two weeks), we calculate the number of sprints required by dividing 24 by 14. 24 divided by 14 equals approximately 1.71. In scrum, sprints are measured as whole numbers. Since 1.71 is not a whole number, we round up to the next whole number, which is 2. Therefore, 2 sprints are needed to complete the work.
Sprints can be measured as Integers only. So 1.5 & 2.5 are incorrect answers. If sprint = 14 days, then 24 will be covered in 2 sprints
