A customer approaches the product owner with a new requirement and asks for a rough estimation to implement it. The outline of the task would be similar to a prior deliverable.
What should the product owner do to properly inform the customer?
A.
Analyze the current backlog and the backlog refinement to determine a gap for fulfilling the requirement.
B.
Check the work breakdown structure (WBS) and the cost estimation for the similar requirement and provide an estimate for the new requirement.
C.
Revisit the user story of the similar requirement, learn about its story points and velocity, and sketch out the time needed for this requirement.
D.
Refer to the lessons learned register where the experience and effort of former requirements should have been noted.
I am torn between B and C. I suppose as "product Owner" is mentioned, we are in an Agile project. As WBS is more of a predictive tool, we want to chose the answer with the more agile tool, hence the user story and velocity in answer C.
C. Revisit the user story of the similar requirement, learn about its story points and velocity, and sketch out the time needed for this requirement.
Explanation: Revisiting the user story of the similar requirement and using its story points and velocity provides a more accurate estimation for the new requirement, based on the team's prior experience and performance. This approach ensures that the estimate is informed by relevant historical data.
