A team's velocity has been steadily decreasing over the last three sprints. The team composition and scope have remained constant. What is the most likely factor to investigate?

The team is overestimating story points.

The team is becoming more productive.

The velocity chart is not being updated correctly.

External dependencies that are causing delays

A team's velocity dropped significantly in the last sprint. Which of the following is a plausible reason for this variation?

The product owner was on vacation

The team completed more work than planned

The team had to wait for a critical external dependency to be resolved

The team decided to use a different story point scale

A team has been tracking velocity for 10 sprints. The values are 20, 22, 21, 23, 22, 24, 21, 23, 22, and 24. The team is about to start a new project with a different domain and expects the work to be more complex. How should they plan the first sprint of the new project?

Commit to 20 points, slightly below the average, to account for the learning curve.

Commit to 24 points, the highest velocity, because the team is experienced.

Commit to 22 points, the average of the last 10 sprints.

Commit to 18 points, a significant reduction, because the new domain is unknown.

A team's velocity chart shows a steady increase from 20 to 30 points over six sprints. The team has had the same members and the same product owner. What is the most likely explanation for this trend?

The product owner is adding more work to each sprint.

The team is underreporting incomplete work.

The team is becoming more productive over time.

The team is getting better at estimating and breaking down work, leading to higher velocity.
