   Show answer

   Answer: D

   Explanation

   D is the right answer. According Mike Griffiths , PMI-ACP Exam Prep, 1st Ed, Velocity is defined as the “measure of a team’s capacity for work per iteration.” This powerful metric allows the team to gauge how much work they will be able to do in future iterations, based on the amount of work they completed in past iterations. This provides a way to track and communicate what they have accomplished, anticipate what they will be able to accomplish in the future, and forecast when the project (or release) is likely to be done.
