Which agile practice would most significantly increase a team's velocity?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The correct answer is C --- Training in areas of weakness.

Velocity can be improved when the team removes skill-based bottlenecks. If some members struggle due to lack of knowledge or technical gaps, their productivity---and the team's velocity---will be impacted. Targeted training helps the team overcome these weaknesses and deliver more efficiently.

PMI Agile Practice Guide:

''Improving technical and team skills through training and mentoring increases team performance and agility. Learning is a continuous improvement activity that directly impacts delivery capacity.''

(PMI Agile Practice Guide, Section 6.4 -- Developing People and Teams)

Mike Griffiths adds:

''Velocity is driven by team capabilities. When teams address their weakest areas---through training, pairing, or knowledge sharing---they improve quality and throughput.''

(PMI-ACP Exam Prep, Chapter 4 -- Team Performance)

Other options:

A supports communication but doesn't directly impact skill-based bottlenecks.

B helps with planning but not necessarily performance.

D describes the work cadence, not a practice that enhances velocity.

Answe r: C

Wait, can iteration really increase velocity that much? Sounds too good to be true.

Iteration seems like a safe bet, but I can't recall if it directly correlates with increasing velocity.

I remember a practice question about iteration planning being key to improving team velocity. Maybe that's the answer?
