Agile is a foundation and method to use for organizing software projects. Not everyone likes it, or Scrum, Waterfall, story points, t-shirt sizes, or whatever may be involved in these methods. What is important is staying on your client/customer's target. #agile #scrum #waterfall #storypoints #tshirt #software #business #client
@redezem #PlanningPoker as well as #StoryPoints is only a tool to triage new backlog items. It can help the product owner to quickly find out which stories must be clarified. PO has 60 minutes max to present a dozen brand new stories and leaves that meeting with three stacks: "Well understood", "To be rewritten" and "Potential trainwreck". That is all and almost every application beyond that specific purpose is #agile cargo cult, especially #Velocity as KPI for team performance.
Time is paramount and precious resource, but no system is perfect for balancing development team productivity. As an example, suppose you have: 27 tickets totaling 56 points, team of six developers (two junior, three senior, one lead) has 47 points available. How to remove nine days of work?
I like this example using time-based estimates:
▦ story points as days
▦ collaborative estimation
▦ capacity management
▦ prioritization

Where does the idea that #StoryPoints are an ordinal ranking and not relative sizing come from?
Honestly, most teams (that I've met) that use #StoryPoints – they use them to describe how fast the hamster wheel is turning.
“The team is working really hard.”
Maybe that's useful to someone, but it doesn’t indicate progress through the product backlog.
People use #StoryPoints in all kinds of bizarre ways.
Please share the weirdest ways YOU have observed…

In a recent thread, I was asked "What Do You Think About Story Points?"
I decided to record some thoughts. Tune in for some recommendations about how to use (or not use) #StoryPoints.
Thanks for the question, Travis!

Becca shared this one with her "work peops," so I took that as a sign to share it here. Enjoy: https://joshbruce.com/experiences/agile-software-development/story-points/
The question "How long will that take?" is a simple one, but providing an answer has always been a challenge.
The Easy Estimation With Story Points technique has been a game-changer for many teams, helping them provide better predictability while also reducing the time spent estimating.
In this full replay of our Scrum Professionals Meetup, we take a deep dive into this technique and explore how it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dw8y8XeH3jo
