Free PMI-ACP Actual Exam Questions - Question 9 Discussion

I get why planning poker (D) stands out since it’s the classic for story points, but the question just says “collectively estimating relative size,” which sounds like affinity too. Affinity lets the team sort stories by size without going card-by-card, speeding up estimates. One-to-one comparison (B) feels off since it’s more about direct pairing of stories, which isn’t really “collective” in the same way. So, could the key be in how detailed or fast the team wants to be?

Option C makes sense too since affinity estimation groups stories by size, helping teams agree on relative story points without detailed one-to-one or card-based comparisons.

C imo, since affinity groups stories by size without necessarily using cards or points directly.

B imo, since one-to-one comparison is about directly comparing stories’ sizes relative to each other.

It’s D since planning poker specifically uses story points with a consensus approach.

C/D? Could be affinity or planning poker, both involve team effort.
