During a sprint planning meeting, an Agile team is deciding which user stories to include in the next sprint. Which factor should guide the selection of user stories for the sprint backlog?
The personal preferences of the team members regarding which user stories they find more interesting.
The user stories with the lowest effort estimates to ensure the sprint is completed ahead of schedule.
The team's estimated capacity and the estimated effort required for each user story.
The user stories that have been in the product backlog the longest.
The team should consider their estimated capacity and the estimated effort required for each user story to ensure a realistic and achievable sprint plan. By aligning the planned work with the team's velocity and the story point estimates, the team can commit to completing the selected user stories within the sprint duration. Selecting user stories based solely on personal preferences, the lowest effort estimates, or how long they've been in the backlog can result in misaligned priorities and reduced value delivery.
