The team’s initial capacity is calculated by multiplying the number of team members by the number of hours per day they are available for work, and then by the number of days in the iteration. In this case, the team has six members (two testers, three developers, and one Scrum Master/Team Coach), and the Product Owner is split between two teams, so they only count as half a member. Assuming they are available for eight hours per day and the iteration is five days long, the team’s initial capacity is:

Initial capacity=(6+0.5)×8×5=260

However, this is not the final answer, because the team also needs to account for the time spent on non-value-added activities, such as meetings, emails, and other overhead. According to the SAFe for Teams course, a typical team spends about 15% of their time on these activities, so they need to subtract that from their initial capacity. Therefore, the team’s final capacity before calculating for time off is:

Final capacity=260×(1−0.15)=221

To get the answer in terms of story points, the team needs to divide their final capacity by the average number of hours per story point. According to the SAFe for Teams course, a typical team has an average of 5.5 hours per story point, so the team’s capacity in story points is:

Capacity in story points=5.5221​≈40

Therefore, the correct answer is C. 40.
