You are the Scrum Master and your Development Team of 6 members has completed six Sprints with the following information:
Sprint 1: 10 points
Sprint 2: 11 points
Sprint 3: 15 points
Sprint 4: 14 points
Sprint 5: 15 points
Sprint 6: 10 points
The remaining story points for product development total 42. What is the approximate number of Sprint required to complete product development?

6

4

3

5

First of all, you must calculate the speed (output) of the Development Time. For this, submit a quantity of points delivered in each Sprint and divide by the quantity of Sprints.
Velocity = (10 + 11 + 15 + 14 + 15 + 10) / 6Velocity = 12.5O Time de Development Team delivers average, 12.5 points per Sprint.Depois, you determine how many Sprints are necessary to deliver the remaining items, estimated at 42 points. For isso, divide the remaining amount of points for the Time Productivity and you will divide the remaining number of Sprints. Sprints = 42 / 12.5Sprints = 3.36As more than 3 Sprints, the answer is more than 4 Sprints.
