Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 321

An agile project manager would like to convert the requirements document into epics, capabilities, features and stories.
In how many iterations should the project manager estimate the story duration?

Answer options

• A. Four iterations
• B. One iteration
• C. Two iterations
• D. Three iterations

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is 'One iteration' because in agile methodology, story estimation is typically done during a single iteration or sprint planning session when the team assembles to define the work for that iteration. The other options suggest multiple iterations, which is unnecessary for estimating story durations.
