Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: Using the previous iteration's velocity as the starting estimate for the next iteration's capacity

Explanation

'Yesterday's weather' is a simple planning heuristic: the team uses its most recent sprint's velocity as the planning assumption for the next sprint. If the team averaged 35 story points last sprint, they plan for approximately 35 story points next sprint. This empirical approach is more reliable than elaborate capacity calculations, especially for stable, established teams.
