A. Use 32 points as velocity for all sprints
B. Use average velocity of the 4 sprints
C. Use 28 points to allow safe forecasting
D. Use 25 points as a conservative estimate

✅ Correct Answer: B. Use average velocity of the 4 sprints

🔍 Explanation:
A. Use 32 points as velocity for all sprints
❌ Incorrect. This represents the highest velocity, not the most consistent or predictable. It may lead to overcommitment and missed sprint goals.

B. Use average velocity of the 4 sprints
✅ Correct. Average velocity gives a balanced view of the team’s performance over time and is the most reliable measure for forecasting.

C. Use 28 points to allow safe forecasting
❌ Incorrect. While 28 is close to the average, selecting it arbitrarily introduces bias. Use actual average for objectivity.

D. Use 25 points as a conservative estimate
❌ Incorrect. Though conservative, it underutilizes team capacity and could slow down value delivery unnecessarily.
