EXIN Agile Scrum Master — Question 31

A Scrum Master is teaching Agile estimation techniques using Story Points to a new team. A more experienced member of the team argues that:
Is this true and what is the reason?

Answer options

• A. No, because estimating with Story Points is usually faster than with Ideal Days.
• B. No, because Story Points are more robust against changes in the work-environment.
• C. Yes, because Ideal Days allow for a buffer and help to maintain the estimate.
• D. Yes, because Story Points are only a relative measure and Ideal Days are not.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because Story Points offer a way to estimate work that is less affected by changes in the work environment, making them more adaptable. Options A and C misrepresent the benefits of Story Points and Ideal Days, while option D incorrectly states that Story Points are only relative without acknowledging their advantages in flexibility.
