ScrumStudy SMC Exam - Topic 1 Question 51 Discussion

The Scrum Master is attending a meeting in which the Scrum Team is estimating the effort required to developthe functionality described in each User Story. The team wants to adopt an estimation technique throughwhich they will be able to quickly estimate a large number of User Stories. Which of the following techniquesdo you think they should adopt?
C) Affinity Estimation.
A) Planning Poker.
B) Wideband Delphi.
D) Relative Sizing. : Affinity estimation is a technique used to quickly estimate a large number of User Stories. Using sticky notes or index cards or tape, the team places User Storied on a wall or other surface, in order from small to large. For this, each team member begins with a subset or User Stories from the overall Prioritized Product Backlog to place by relative size. This initial placement is done in silence. Once everyone has placed their User Stories on the wall, the team reviews all the placements and may move User Stories around as appropriate. The second part of the exercise involves discussion. Finally, the Product Owner will indicate some sizing categories on the wall. These categories can be small, medium or large, or they may be numbered using story point values to indicate relative size. The team will then move User Stories into these categories as the final step in the process. Some key benefits of this approach are that the process is very transparent, visible to everyone, and is easy to conduct.

I feel like Wideband Delphi could work too, but it seems more suited for detailed estimates rather than quick ones.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think Affinity Estimation really stands out for its speed and simplicity.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think Planning Poker might be better for team engagement, even if it takes a bit longer.

I remember we discussed Affinity Estimation in class, and it seemed like a good fit for quickly estimating a lot of User Stories.

I'm a bit confused on this one. Is the "general" increase the same as a cost of living adjustment? Or is that a separate thing? I'll have to think it through carefully to make sure I select the right answer.

The question is asking about the hosting plan, so I think the Docker container options are a bit of a distraction. I'm going to focus on the Windows operating system and the two hosting plan choices, Consumption and App Service. Based on the requirements, I think the Consumption plan is the better fit.

Okay, I think I've got this. The CAN-SPAM Act is all about giving consumers more control over the commercial emails they receive, right? So the answer is probably something related to that, like requiring companies to let consumers opt-out of future emails.
