Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 113

A backwards path calculation estimates that the last work package will be completed 24 days from this coming Monday. The scrum team operates in two-week sprints.

How many sprints are needed to complete the work?

Answer options

• A. 2
• B. 1.5
• C. 3
• D. 2.5

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as 24 days translates to 3 weeks, which means 1.5 sprints. However, since sprints are completed in full, it rounds up to 2 sprints. Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct number of sprints needed to cover the 24-day duration.
