Who defines the amount of work to be completed during an iteration?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

In Disciplined Agile, the team members are responsible for defining the amount of work to be completed during an iteration based on their understanding of the team's current capacity. This is aligned with Agile principles that promote self-organizing teams and emphasize the importance of team members making commitments based on their realistic assessment of what they can achieve. This collaborative decision-making process helps to ensure that the team is neither over-committing nor under-utilizing its capacity, leading to sustainable delivery and higher quality outcomes.


PMI Agile Practice Guide, which supports the principle of team autonomy in deciding how much work they can complete in an iteration.

PMI Disciplined Agile (DA) Toolkit, which promotes self-organization and team-based decision-making regarding workload capacity.

The quality tester? Really? That's like putting the cart before the horse. How can they determine the workload when they haven't even seen the completed work yet?
