   An agile project manager would like to convert the requirements document into epics, capabilities, features and stories. In how many iterations should the project manager estimate the story duration?

   • AFour iterations
   • BOne iteration
   • CTwo iterations
   • DThree iterations

   Show answer

   Answer: B

   Explanation

   The correct answer is B. One iteration. In agile frameworks, user stories are the smallest unit of work and they are designed to be completed within a single iteration or sprint. So, when estimating the duration of a user story, it should fit within one iteration. If it's too big to be completed in a single iteration, then it should be broken down into smaller user stories.
