[B] False
When normalization implies ‘commoditization’ of story points, it can skew people’s ideas of what constitutes value. The point of departure is that the measure of productivity in Scrum should always be the delivery of working increments. Therefore, such normalization is considered a bad idea in principle – and so answer B is correct. However, although story points estimates should not by used by management as a productivity measure, the normalization of estimates can be useful in practice, especially when multiple teams are working on the same product backlog.
