A team's release contains 240 story points. Over the first 5 sprints they completed 90 points. Management wants the release finished by the end of sprint 12. Based on the current average velocity, will the team finish on time, and by how many points will they be over or under?

Question

Accepted Answer

They fall short by 24 points. Average velocity = 90 / 5 = 18 points/sprint. Remaining sprints = 12 − 5 = 7, giving projected additional output = 18 × 7 = 126 points. Remaining work = 240 − 90 = 150 points. Shortfall = 150 − 126 = 24 points. The team will fall short by 24 points at the current velocity.
