    PMP · Question 62 · Task 6: Plan and manage schedule

    A project manager is leading an agile project where the team has been struggling with estimation accuracy. Sprint after sprint, the team commits to more work than they can complete, leading to incomplete sprints and stakeholder disappointment. The team wants to improve their estimation and commitment reliability. Which TWO practices should the project manager recommend?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Reduce sprint duration to make estimates more manageable

    B.

    Have the product owner make capacity decisions for the team

    C.

    Track and analyze historical velocity data to guide future sprint planning

    D.

    Add 25% buffer time to all story estimates

    E.

    Implement collaborative estimation techniques like planning poker

    F.

    Assign estimation responsibility to the most experienced team members only

    How to approach this question

    Look for evidence-based approaches that improve both estimation accuracy (collaborative techniques) and capacity planning (historical data) rather than artificial constraints or external controls.

    Full Answer

    Agile teams improve estimation through collaborative techniques (like planning poker) that create shared understanding and empirical data (velocity tracking) that informs realistic capacity planning.

    Common mistakes

    Using artificial buffers, reducing team autonomy, or making structural changes that don't address the root causes of estimation and commitment issues.
