What should the agile practitioner know about tracking velocity?

The correct answer is C. A team that consistently meets its planned velocity is more efficient than a team that consistently. Velocity is an internal planning tool that is not comparable across teams - different teams size stories differently, so a team with velocity 50 is not inherently more or less efficient than a team with velocity 25 (eliminating A and B). A team that consistently meets its…

Explanation

Velocity is an internal planning tool that is not comparable across teams - different teams size stories differently, so a team with velocity 50 is not inherently more or less efficient than a team with velocity 25 (eliminating A and B). A team that consistently meets its planned velocity demonstrates predictability, reliable estimation, and stable throughput - which are hallmarks of efficiency and maturity. A team that consistently misses its velocity has a planning or execution problem. Option D inverts this logic incorrectly.
