To determine the best description of the team's performance, we analyze the chart showing:
Committed work (orange bars): what the team planned to do.
Actual work completed (blue bars): what the team actually accomplished.
Key Observations:
In most sprints (e.g., 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10), the actual work is slightly less than the committed work.
In Sprints 9 and 10, the actual work exceeds the committed work.
There's inconsistency in how much work is completed compared to what's committed.
Interpretation:
The team frequently overestimates its capacity. This suggests a misalignment between planning and execution, which indicates that their velocity is not yet well-understood or accurately reflected in sprint planning.
According to the CompTIA Project+ PK0-005 Exam Objectives:
Under Domain 1.2: Compare and contrast Agile vs. Waterfall concepts, understanding team velocity, iteration planning, and the ability to plan based on past performance is key to Agile success.
"Agile teams should use velocity as a guide to improve predictability. Sprint commitments should align with the team’s proven delivery capacity."
