A Scrum Team has been working on a product for several iterations and has an average velocity of 55 units of ‘done’ work per Sprint. A second team will be added to work on the same product.

What might be the impact on the original team?

A. Their velocity is likely not affected and will remain at 55
B. Their velocity is likely to drop and be less than 55
C. Their velocity is likely to rise and be more than 55

Correct Answer: B
