5.1 Test Planning

FL-5.1.4 (K3) Use estimation techniques to calculate the required test effort

        2. Your team uses planning poker to estimate the test effort for a newly required feature. There is a rule in your team that if there is no time to reach full agreement and the variation in the results is small, applying rules like “accept the number with the most votes” can be applied.

After two rounds, the consensus was not reached, so the third round was initiated. You can see the test estimation results in the table below.

Which of the following is the BEST example of the next step ?

a)  The product owner has to step in and make a final decision          

b)  Accept 13 as the final test estimate as this has most of the votes           

c)  No further action is needed. Consensus has been reached   

d) Remove the new feature from the current release because consensus has not been reached
