I want this much. When can I get it? We create a fixed-scope plan in response to the question of “when will all of this be done?” There are 3 steps here Sum the product backlog items Estimate velocity as a range Use the sum of the backlog divided by the velocity range to determine a date range What we know The project size is 120 points Velocity is in the interval 15-20 (check this to calculate the range with %90 level of confidence) So you can calculate the duration as 6-8 s

Someone said : “I want all of this by that date” This type of project is generally considered the hardest to manage. There are two type of this kind of project. 1. You are given no choice. This refers to the cases when someone has literally dictated both date and scope. First assess the risk trying to do everything by the given date. Next decide to do the project or not 2. Second type of this project is when you have some flexibilty. Again start by assessing the risk. And the

Lets assume that you have 26+ past iterations to calculate velocity and there are 5 iterations left to finish product backlog. So how many backlog items can you do until the end of the project? Velocity Calculation Steps - As per the table below you should throw out 8 best (highest) and 8 worst (lowest) velocitiy values We throw away outlying values because those values are unlikely to be the team’s future average. The range that remains after throwing away some number of out
