Free PMI Project Management Professional (PMP) Practice Question
When applying an Agile methodology to a software development project, which metric would provide the most insight into the team's current pace of delivering work planned for a sprint?
The correct answer is 'Velocity'. Velocity is a metric unique to Agile project management that measures the amount of work a team can complete in a single sprint and is used to predict future sprint capacity. It is an averaged value based on the completed work from previous sprints, providing insight into the team's current pace. 'Resource leveling' is a technique to address resource constraints, while 'Cost variance' measures cost performance, and 'Float' refers to the amount of time that a task can be delayed without affecting subsequent tasks or project completion dates, none of which are specific to an Agile team's sprint capacity.
