PK0-005 Tools and Documentation Practice Question

An agile team uses story points for estimating effort. During sprint planning, the team's average velocity is 30 story points per sprint. The product owner wants to commit to 35 story points for the upcoming sprint. What should the team do?

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

Commit to 30 story points based on historical velocity.

Committing to more than the historical velocity increases risk of incomplete work. The team should use velocity to size the sprint backlog realistically.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • Remove the definition of done to save time.

    Why it's wrong here

    DoD ensures quality; removing it increases technical debt.

  • Increase the sprint duration to accommodate more points.

    Why it's wrong here

    Sprint duration is fixed; changing it is not an agile best practice.

  • Commit to 30 story points based on historical velocity.

    Why this is correct

    Correct – use velocity to set realistic expectations.

  • Accept the 35 story points to satisfy the product owner.

    Why it's wrong here

    Overcommitting leads to unfinished tasks and demotivation.
