EXIN Agile Scrum Master — Question 26

During a Sprint Planning, a team has picked three User Stories:
✑ Story 1 "" 5 Story Points
✑ Story 2 "" 8 Story Points
✑ Story 3 "" 3 Story Points
At the end of the Sprint, the team has completed Story 1 and Story 3 and the Product Owner accepts these. The team has almost completed Story 2 but there are a few bugs identified in acceptance tests.
What is the Velocity of this team?

Answer options

• A. 8 points
• B. 16 points
• C. 12 points
• D. Insufficient information given "" it depends on % completion of Story 2

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The Velocity of a team is calculated based on the Story Points of the completed User Stories. In this case, only Story 1 and Story 3 were fully completed and accepted, totaling 8 Story Points. Story 2 was not fully completed, so its points are not counted towards the Velocity.
