I'm going with option C. Let the teams decide their own velocity, and then roll it up. It's like trusting the team to know what they're doing, instead of forcing them into a one-size-fits-all approach.

Oooh, option D sounds juicy! 10 points per team member, subtract a point for each holiday. That's like a sugar rush for the velocity calculation!

Option B is the way to go. How can you calculate velocity without any historical data? That's like trying to run before you can walk.

I agree with Deonna, option C seems more flexible and realistic for our team.

I disagree, I believe option C is better as it allows teams to establish their own velocity.

I think we should go with option A and assign 8 points per team member.
