Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 786

In an agile project, the team planned to complete 40 story points in an iteration, but only completed 30 story points. What is the schedule performance index (SPI)?

Answer options

• A. 30/40
• B. 30/70
• C. 40/30
• D. 40/70

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The schedule performance index (SPI) is calculated by dividing the earned value by the planned value, which in this case is 30 story points completed over 40 story points planned, resulting in 30/40. The other options represent incorrect ratios of completed and planned story points, thus not accurately reflecting the SPI calculation.
