Question No. 7
Two teams have received project requirements and completed estimates. Team A estimates 420
story points for scope and 30 story points for velocity per sprint. Team B estimates 280 story points
for scope and 20 story points for velocity per sprint. Both teams have same number of team
members and have an assumed sprint duration of 2 weeks.
What can an agile practitioner conclude about team A and team B's estimates?

Option A feels more likely since Team B’s scope estimate is much lower but their velocity is proportionally lower too, which might mean they’re underestimating the total work compared to Team A.

A. If the teams used the same scale, Team B’s lower scope estimate suggests they’re underestimating the total work compared to Team A. This points to potential differences in scope understanding or estimation approach.

Good point about the story point scale. Without a shared baseline, D seems risky. I think B fits since Team A's higher velocity estimate suggests more confidence in delivery speed. B

Maybe D. Both teams' scope divided by their velocity ends up similar sprint counts, so they seem to estimate the project size similarly despite different absolute points.
