PSM II Exam - Question 180


Marian is a Product Owner working on a Scrum Team on a new release for her product. Based on the average velocity of the previous release Marian estimated the project to take seven Sprints. Average velocity in the previous release was thirteen completed units of work per Sprint. Development is three Sprints underway, with four more Sprints to go until the release. Product Backlog has been stable.

Over the first three Sprints, the Developers report their average velocity is nine, while not having fully tested all the delivered functionality. The Developers estimate that the unfinished testing would have required 10% of a Sprint's time. The Developers believe that the required velocity of thirteen is within their reach. What is the most effective way to recover?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: D

The Developers need to communicate transparently with Marian that their progress to date has not met the expected standards, as the Increment is not releasable. They should provide an estimate to complete the unfinished work first before continuing with new features, and re-estimate the effort required to complete the remaining backlog, including all necessary testing. This allows Marian to make an informed decision about whether to continue or cancel the project, ensuring transparency and maintaining the integrity of the release.
