During a planning session, four out of five team members vote to include eight story points in a particular story, while the fifth member votes for five story points. How should this be handled?
A.
The story should be assigned eight story points as per the majority vote
B.
The story should be added to the backlog and reassessed later
C.
The story should be assigned points after a discussion with the fifth team member to see if a consensus can be reached
D.
The decision for the number of story points should be made by the customer
A is correct.
Refer page 290 of PMI-ACP Exam Prep Book: "When the range is small and there is a rough consensus on the estimate, the largest estimate is selected"
Repeat the process till the estimates converges to a single estimate that can be used for the story. https://www.tutorialspoint.com/scrum/scrum_estimation.htm
Option C.
Agile methodology emphasizes collaboration and communication among team members to reach a consensus. Therefore, it is recommended to have a discussion with the fifth team member to understand their reasoning and try to reach a consensus on the story point estimation. This helps to ensure that all team members have a shared understanding of the story and increases the likelihood of delivering the work within the estimated time.
A
Let’s say there are four estimators, and three of them lay down cards with the number 5 and one person lays down a card with the number 3. In this case, the estimate would be recorded as a “5”—when the range is small and there is a rough consensus on the estimate, the largest estimate is selected. After that, the team will move on to the next story to keep the game moving quickly.
Quick estimation can be done for instance
when few members estimate as 2 and few estimate as 3 then choose the bigger one.
If the different cards shown are like few with 2 and few with 8 then ONLY do the discussion.
