DRAFT - Estimation & Story Points
- Duncan Strong
- Matthew Hall
Story Points | Size | Notes |
|---|---|---|
0 | XXS | If it takes more time to talk about the estimate than just do the work, then the item is 0. No uncertainty or complexity |
1 | XS | providing an estimate is easier than doing the work but less than an hour or two. There is a minimal amount of uncertainty and complexity. |
2 | S | more than just an hour or two in effort but less than day. a small amount of complexity and uncertainty. |
3 | M-Certain | more than a day of effort but less than 1/2 a week. An average or moderate of uncertainty and complexity |
5 | M-Risky | more that 1/2 a week in effort but less than a week. The level of uncertainty and complexity noticeably effects the completion time. |
8 | L | More than a week effort but less than 2 weeks The level of uncertainty and complexity often results in not being able to complete this level of work within a single sprint. |
13 | XL | More than 2 weeks but less than 1 month. The level of uncertainty and complexity is significantly high and often results in changes to the work, or the creation of new issues. |
21 | Too big - needs to be broken down | More than a month effort but less than 3 months. The level of uncertainty is too high to proceed without additional research. The level of complexity is too great to assume that a feasible solution is available. |
