Question

The Product Owner of a team was asked for a forecast for the completion of a product release. There were 140 story points worth of work remaining in the project. The team's average velocity in the past 3 Sprints has been 65, though the best Sprint among the last three had a velocity of 85 story points. What should the Product Owner say?

Answer 1

The product owner should say:

The team will need about 3 Sprints more to complete the product release.

Step-by-step explanation:

As given the team's average velocity in the past 3 Sprints has been 65 points and best sprint among three was 85 points. There were 140 story points worth of work in the project.

So, if the team keep such a performance then,

three sprints can get = 3 x 65 points

Three sprints can get = 195 points

So, the team will need about 3 sprints more to complete the product release.
