Constantly exceeding your planned velocity doesn't make you efficient. So C is the correct answer in my opinion.

B, since velocity based on story point and it is relative size

A. Twice as efficient: Not necessarily. Other factors beyond velocity contribute to overall efficiency. A team with a lower velocity might be working on more complex tasks or tackling unforeseen challenges. C. Consistently meeting is better: Meeting planned velocity is good, but exceeding it consistently might signal underestimation or sacrificing quality for speed. D. Less efficient than exceeding: Exceeding planned velocity can be positive, but only if it's sustainable and achieved without compromising quality or team well-being.

Selected Answer: B
Velocity is relative, not absolute: The value itself doesn't directly represent efficiency. A team of 5 completing 50 story points in a sprint has the same velocity as a team of 10 completing 100 story points. Both teams complete their respective scope within the same timeframe.

I would go with D. A & B are irrelevant as you cannot compare velocity of two different teams. They are team specific. Within a team, if a team is exceeding its planned velocity that means they are able to do more work than estimated while a team that meets velocity is able to do only what is planned.

Selected Answer: B
Answer is B Velocity is not a universal measure of efficiency, and comparing the velocities of different teams does not necessarily reflect their relative efficiency. Teams should focus on using velocity as a guide for their own planning and improvement rather than for comparative assessments between teams.
