EXIN Agile Scrum Foundation — Question 15

A team is estimating story points. They estimate that the story falls between a large (13) and a medium (5) and they assign a story point of 8.
What is this technique called?

Answer options

• A. Affinity estimation
• B. Fibonacci estimation
• C. Triangulation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Triangulation, which involves estimating a value based on its relation to known values. Option A, Affinity estimation, refers to grouping items based on similarity rather than direct numerical estimation. Option B, Fibonacci estimation, specifically uses the Fibonacci sequence for estimating, but does not apply here since the team is comparing against specific values.
