B. If you were the scrum master and the product owner was suggesting (strongly) that your team (the team with this velocity calculated above) that the team commit for iteration #5 to complete stories with point estimates of 4, 2, and 16. His or her reasoning is that you are nearing completion of the project and it is important to get the product to market. Would you back his recommendation? If so, why? If not, why not? If not, which stories would you do and why?

Explanation / Answer
A)
Here As per given data
Iteration 1
4 stories and out of which completed stories are A,D,E so total points acheived in this sprint is 8+2+4 = 14 points and story is pushed in backlog which means 2 points.
Iteration 2
3 stories out of which all four are completed M,N,P which means 4+4+4 = 12
Iteration 3
4 stories out of which 3 are completed , X, Y and C which means 4+2+8 = 14
Iteration 4
2 stories out which both are completed , Z, J which means 18
Now to check team velocity we can take average of it as in most of iteration it has completed 3 stories
(Iteration 1+ Iteration2+Iteration3+Iteration4)/4
(14+12+14+18)/4
58/4
14.5
We will team velocity is 14 points.
