PMP Practice: Define Scope

Kofi Boateng-Owusu is the product owner for Fjord Analytics Group, a company building an AI-powered meal planning app. The team works in two-week sprints and tracks story points to measure velocity and forecast delivery. Over the past six sprints, the team has completed the following story points: Sprint 1: 28 points, Sprint 2: 32 points, Sprint 3: 26 points, Sprint 4: 34 points, Sprint 5: 30 points, Sprint 6: 28 points. The product backlog currently contains 145 story points of prioritized work that must be completed before the public launch. The executive sponsor has asked Luna to provide a realistic forecast for how many more sprints will be needed to complete the remaining scope, assuming the team maintains its current performance pattern. Luna wants to use the team's historical velocity data to calculate the most accurate forecast. Based on the team's average velocity, how many additional sprints should Luna forecast to complete the remaining 145 story points?
