Towards the end of the Foundations phase of Project Increment 4, with the high-level requirements...

The correct answer is A .

If the Developers have estimated work using Planning Poker and story points , the right next step is to use a planning approach that helps Hira understand how much work the teams can realistically complete in a Sprint. This supports forecasting the likely number of Sprints required.

Why A is correct:

It keeps estimation in the same agile framework.

It uses the team’s practical delivery capability to forecast Sprint outcomes.

It avoids false precision while still giving Hira a useful basis for planning.

Why the other options are incorrect:

B is incorrect because converting story points directly into person-days undermines the purpose of relative estimation and can create misleading precision.

C is incorrect because assigning average time allocations to every item is too mechanical and not how AgilePM typically uses story-point-based estimation.

D is incorrect because Planning Poker is already an appropriate technique. There is no need to discard it simply because Hira needs a forecast.

So the best answer is A .
