CAPM Practice: Explain when it is appropriate to use an adaptive approach

Question 53 of 61 in Explain when it is appropriate to use an adaptive approach

Pick an answer below — you'll get the explanation instantly, no signup.

An adaptive team's velocity is 35 story points per sprint (2-week sprints). Their product backlog contains 350 story points. How many sprints will the project likely take, and what does this forecasting assume?
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: 10 sprints — assuming velocity remains constant and no new items are added to the backlog

Explanation

350 story points ÷ 35 story points/sprint = 10 sprints forecast. This estimate assumes: current velocity remains constant (no increase or decrease); no significant new items are added; and no significant changes in team composition. These are important caveats — backlog velocity forecasts give a planning estimate that should be revisited as the project progresses.
