PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 104

The scrum master for a large project must provide an estimate of what can be delivered in six months.
What should the scrum master do?

Answer options

• A. Commit to a specific feature set for delivery
• B. Explain that a commitment will be provided after planning
• C. Have the team estimate in story points to commit to a specific set of features
• D. Use the team's historical velocity to calculate a range of features that can be delivered

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because using historical velocity allows the scrum master to provide a realistic estimate based on past performance. Option A is incorrect as committing to specific features without proper assessment can lead to unrealistic expectations. Option B does not provide an immediate estimate, and option C might limit flexibility by focusing too narrowly on specific features.
