An agile team is using an affinity estimating technique where the scrum master presents the team with example user stories that are familiar to the team, and they are categorized as small, medium, and large. The scrum master then reads out the new user stories that should be developed on the project, and for each user story requests that the team members do which of the following?

A. Assign the user story a size from the Fibonacci series
B. Assign the user story a size that is most similar to one of the example user stories
C. Ask team members to rank the relative importance of the user story
D. Assess the effort, complexity, difficulty, and risk of the user story

The answer will be posted on Friday!

B. Assign the user story a size that is most similar to one of the example user stories

Because affinity estimating involves finding a similarity in size between the example small, medium, and large, and the project's user stories presented.
