Number of Stories

The quantity of user stories completed within a single sprint, recorded either as a simple tally or as a weighted total.

Key Points

  • Tracks how many user stories are finished in a single sprint (team throughput).
  • Can be a simple count or a weighted count based on agreed size or complexity rules.
  • Only stories that meet the Definition of Done are included; partial work is excluded.
  • Useful for forecasting and trend analysis, but it does not by itself indicate effort or value.

Example

In Sprint 6, the team completes 8 user stories. Using a weighted scheme (S=1, M=2, L=3), they finish 3 small, 4 medium, and 1 large story. The simple Number of Stories is 8; the weighted Number of Stories is 3*1 + 4*2 + 1*3 = 14.

PMP Example Question

  4. Burndown Rate

Correct Answer: B - Number of Stories

Explanation: Number of Stories measures how many user stories are delivered in a sprint, either as a simple count or a weighted count.

ICS/OT Cybersecurity Fundamentals — Security Built for Industrial Systems

Industrial control systems cannot be secured like ordinary IT. A forced reboot, aggressive scan, or incompatible patch can interrupt production and create real safety consequences. Effective OT security begins with understanding the systems, constraints, and risks unique to industrial environments.

This course gives IT professionals, engineers, operators, and security practitioners a practical foundation in ICS threats, zone and conduit design, risk assessment, passive asset visibility, and vendor evaluation. You will learn how IEC 62443, NIST CSF, and MITRE ATT&CK for ICS apply where availability and safety come first.

Eight reconstructed incidents—including Stuxnet, Triton, Ukraine 2015, Colonial Pipeline, and PIPEDREAM—show how attackers move through OT environments, what they target, and which defenses could have changed the outcome.

Watch the course preview, then build the vocabulary, frameworks, and judgment needed to take credible first steps in ICS/OT cybersecurity.
