In the past 8 Sprints, the Scrum Team has completed 85 story points worth of work altogether. The Scrum Team has been asked to start working on a new project which is estimated at 64 story points.
How many Sprints would be needed to complete this project?
A. 5 sprints
B. 7 sprints
C. 8 sprints
D. 10 sprints
B. 7 sprints. The Velocity of the team is 85/8=10.625. The number of Sprints required to complete the project is 64/velocity (64/10.625=6.024), which works out to be slightly above 6. Hence 7 is the most reasonable answer since we should never round these estimates down.
