An adaptive project team is grooming the backlog for the next iteration. What does the team need to document in the user stories to determine the work needed to complete each story?

Question

Options

• ATeam velocity in past iterations
• BRelated epics of each story

• A
  23% (7)
• B
  77% (23)

Explanation

Documenting the related epics for each user story gives the team the broader feature context and business goal that the story contributes toward. Epics define the larger body of work a story belongs to, which helps the team understand scope boundaries, dependencies between stories in the same epic, and the overall expected outcome - all of which are necessary to accurately determine the work needed to complete each individual story. Team velocity (past sprint performance) is a planning and forecasting metric, not something documented within a user story itself.
