Assuming one-week iterations and a team of four developers, how many iterations will it take the team to complete a project with 27 story points if they have a velocity of 4?

The correct answer is A. 7. Number of iterations = Total story points / Velocity = 27 / 4 = 6.75. Since you cannot have a partial iteration, you round up to 7 iterations. The team size (4 developers) is a distractor; velocity already accounts for the team's collective output per iteration. Always round up…

Explanation

Number of iterations = Total story points / Velocity = 27 / 4 = 6.75. Since you cannot have a partial iteration, you round up to 7 iterations. The team size (4 developers) is a distractor; velocity already accounts for the team's collective output per iteration. Always round up because partial iterations still require a full timebox to complete remaining work.
