Regarding Velocity

[usha1]

Number of story points 31, team velocity 10 per iteration and how many iterations it takes to complete the work-Saket could you answer this question? Answer : 3 or 4?

No rule for this in general but since we are doing estimate and it make some sense to keep some contingency reserves we should say 4, since even if we do with planned velocity we will not finish it in 3 iterations.

I understand sometime this becomes tricky in PMI-ACP exam.

I remembered ,I chose 4.I was very curious to know the answer to make sure my thought was correct or not.Thank you again.
