What are Story points?

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.
