PMI-ACP · Question #269
Agile uses a number sequence for estimating. The series of numbers begin with 0, 1, 1 and are calculated by adding the previous two numbers to get the next number. This number sequence is called:
The correct answer is D. Fibonacci. The Fibonacci sequence (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34...) is widely used in Agile estimation, particularly in Planning Poker. Each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers. The increasing gaps between higher numbers reflect the natural uncertainty in estimating larger…

Explanation
The Fibonacci sequence (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34...) is widely used in Agile estimation, particularly in Planning Poker. Each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers. The increasing gaps between higher numbers reflect the natural uncertainty in estimating larger, more complex work items. Velocity is the measure of work completed per sprint; Capacity is the team's available working hours; Sashimi is an Agile technique referring to overlapping work phases.
