PMP Question 627

[admin]

A team wants to measure how much work they complete each sprint to help with forecasting. Which metric should they use?

A. Lead Time
B. Velocity
C. Cycle Time
D. Burn Rate

[admin]

✅ Correct Answer: B. Velocity

🔍 Explanation:
A. Lead Time
❌ Incorrect. Lead time measures the time from request to delivery. It’s useful for understanding flow but not ideal for sprint-level forecasting.

B. Velocity
✅ Correct. Velocity measures the amount of work completed (often in story points) in each sprint. It helps the team forecast future work capacity and plan upcoming sprints effectively.

C. Cycle Time
❌ Incorrect. Cycle time is the time it takes to complete a task once work has started. It’s useful for analyzing efficiency but not directly for sprint planning.

D. Burn Rate
❌ Incorrect. Burn rate refers to how fast budget is being spent, which is a financial metric—not specific to measuring work done per sprint in Agile.
