B tbh feels risky here since averaging guesses isn’t reliable for a new team with no sprint history. Better to wait for actual data rather than assume based on opinions or past projects.

Option D feels right because velocity is empirical; you can’t just guess or average it without any real sprints done. Let the team run a few sprints and then discuss velocity based on actual results.

If the team is new, relying on past projects (A) or averaging guesses (B) seems off. Wouldn't it be risky to commit any number before a real sprint happens? How can they make a confident call yet?

D. But does the team have any past sprint data at all? Without some actual work done, it’s tough to estimate velocity accurately.
