PMP Practice Question: Process — Agile, Hard
During a release planning session, your distributed agile team is estimating features for the next quarter. The team has historical data showing their velocity averages 60 story points per two-week sprint. Marketing has committed to customers that Features A, B, and C (totaling 380 story points) will be delivered in the next six sprints. The Development Team estimates there's a 30% risk that Feature B's technical complexity is underestimated and could require 40% more effort. The Product Owner asks you how to plan the release with confidence. Feature A is worth $500K in revenue, Feature B is worth $300K, and Feature C is worth $150K. What is the most appropriate recommendation?
