Exam PMP topic 1 question 477 discussion

The story is fit in 1 iteration, if more than, we need to separate it to smaller.

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.

Based on simple agile training and simple project example (in youtube, PMI videos), The trainer has always provided user stories in one iteration.

C. Two iterations

Ans: B / PMBOK 7 / 2.7.2.2 - Batch size(includes all) should be one iteration.

A single User Story should never exceed a single Sprint (https://www.scrum.org/forum/scrum-forum/7302/one-item-over-multiple-sprints)

According to chatGPT The answer to this question depends on the size and complexity of the project, as well as the level of detail required in the estimation process. However, a common practice is to estimate the story duration over two iterations. During the first iteration, the project manager can estimate the high-level epics, capabilities, and features, which will allow them to get a broad understanding of the project's scope and requirements. During the second iteration, the project manager can break down the features into smaller, more manageable user stories and estimate their durations more accurately. This approach allows for a more iterative and flexible estimation process that can adapt as the project progresses. Therefore, the answer is: C. Two iterations.

what a tricky question :)
