Free PMI Project Management Professional (PMP) Practice Question

During a project involving the development of a new software application, the project management team is utilizing story points to estimate the effort required for user stories. They have already established a baseline through comparative analysis with similar past projects. When planning the upcoming sprint, the team encounters a user story that encompasses the development of a complex new feature which has not been implemented in any of the previous projects. What should the team do to estimate this user story's effort accurately?

  • Rely on the technical lead's estimate since they have the most experience.

  • Assign the lowest story points to minimize the risk of schedule overruns.

  • Quote the story points based on the average effort of similar tasks from past projects.

  • Conduct a planning poker session with the team to collectively estimate the effort.
