What are Story points?

Info

To learn more about Story Sizing please click here https://youtu.be/VsSaolMtkKU

The best definition of story points is that they represent the effort to develop a user story or product backlog item.

Effort is a question of time: how long it will take to finish something. Many factors go into determining effort, including

  • The amount of work to do

  • The complexity of the work

  • Any risk or uncertainty in doing the work

When estimating with story points, many things come into play: complexity, effort, risk, and volume. But ultimately, story points are an estimate of effort.
