Question

Options

• BFurther estimation rounds should be performed until all team members will pick the card having
• CThe final estimate of the user story in story points is determined by calculating the average value

• A
  11% (3)
• B
  15% (4)
• C
  4% (1)
• D
  70% (19)

Explanation

In Agile teams using the planning poker technique for estimating user stories, it is common practice to have further discussions and rounds of estimation if there is a significant discrepancy in the initial estimates. This helps in reaching a consensus and ensures that all team members understand the complexity and requirements of the user story. According to the ISTQB CTFL syllabus, planning poker involves discussions to clarify differences in estimates, especially when there is a wide range of values selected. By having Memb6 and Memb4, who provided the most pessimistic and optimistic estimates, explain their reasoning, it fosters a deeper understanding and encourages the team to converge towards a more accurate and agreed-upon estimate.
