Explanation

Cost estimation for an Agile project begins at Release Planning, where the team identifies the scope of work, estimates story sizes, projects velocity, and determines how many iterations will be needed for the release. This allows high-level cost estimates to be derived (number of iterations Ã- team cost). Sprint Planning (D) is more granular and iteration-specific, not the starting point for overall cost estimation. Retrospectives (A) look back, not forward. Steering Committees (B) may receive cost information but don't originate the estimates.
