Explanation

{"question_number": 10, "question": "Given a velocity chart, what update should the Scrum master provide to senior management?", "correct_answer": "D. The project is trending ahead of schedule", "explanation": "A velocity chart tracks the number of story points (or work items) a team completes per sprint. When the velocity is consistently high or increasing over time, it indicates the team is completing more work than planned, meaning the project is trending ahead of schedule. Options A (reserve utilization), B (scope creep), and C (critical path deviation) are not metrics derived from a velocity chart. Reserve utilization is a cost/time concept from predictive project management; scope creep would be visible in a growing backlog, not just velocity; and critical path is a predictive scheduling concept irrelevant to agile velocity charts. Trending ahead of schedule is the correct interpretation of a strong or improving velocity.", "generated_by": "claude-sonnet", "llm_judge_score": 4}
