    PMP · Question 99 · Task 8: Plan and manage scope

    A project manager is leading a project to build a new website. The project is using Agile. The team is estimating the user stories. One story is 'As a user, I want to search for products.' The team estimates it at 100 points. The average velocity is 20. What should the PM suggest?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Accept the estimate and plan for it to take 5 sprints.

    B.

    Tell the team to lower the estimate.

    C.

    Suggest splitting the story into smaller, more manageable stories (Decomposition/Slicing).

    D.

    Remove the story.

    How to approach this question

    Huge Estimate -> Split it.

    Full Answer

    Task 8 (Scope). Agile relies on small batch sizes. A story that is 5x velocity is an Epic and must be decomposed to be manageable and reduce risk.

    Common mistakes
