PMP Practice: Define Success Metrics

Eleni Papadopoulos-Stavros is establishing governance for a new agile product development initiative at Mesa Verde Robotics, a design software company. The product owner wants to track whether governance overhead is proportional to team capacity. The team has committed to delivering 120 story points per sprint. During Sprint 3, the team spent the following effort on governance activities: daily standups (7.5 hours total), sprint planning (4 hours), sprint review (3 hours), sprint retrospective (2.5 hours), and compliance documentation required by the audit committee (6 hours). The team has 6 members working 40 hours each during the sprint. Priya needs to calculate the percentage of team capacity consumed by governance and ceremonial activities to present to the steering committee, who has expressed concern that governance is becoming excessive. What percentage of total team capacity was spent on governance and agile ceremonies in Sprint 3?
