Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Feature estimates are aggregated back into the Epic estimate as part of the lean business case. The lean business case is a lightweight and collaborative artifact that captures the rationale, assumptions, and financial projections for an Epic. The lean business case includes the Epic value statement, which consists of the value proposition, the benefit hypothesis, and the Epic estimate. The Epic estimate is the total effort required to implement the Epic, expressed in story points. The Epic estimate is derived from the sum of the Feature estimates, which are the effort required to implement each Feature that contributes to the Epic, also expressed in story points. The Feature estimates are aggregated back into the Epic estimate as part of the lean business case to provide a realistic and data-driven projection of the cost and duration of the Epic.

Outcome metrics? More like 'Income Metrics', am I right? If it doesn't make the cash register ring, it's not worth my time.

Hey, I heard the correct answer is 'Bacon Metrics'. Apparently, it's all about how much bacon the product can generate. Gotta love that crispy, delicious data!
