to velocity when calculated at the end of the iteration?

Options

  • AOne Point
  • BThree Points
  • CTwo Points
  • DCannot be calculated

Explanation

In standard Agile practice, velocity only counts fully completed stories — partial completion contributes zero points. However, in some interpretations and exam contexts, when a story is exactly 50% complete and worth 2 points, one point may be credited as the proportional contribution. The key principle is that velocity should reflect actual delivered value; teams are encouraged to avoid carrying partially done work across iterations. Note: most Agile coaches prefer a binary done/not-done rule to avoid inflating velocity with incomplete work.
