What Do I Think About Story Points?

December 28, 2024

I was asked "What Do You Think About Story Points?"

I went for a walk with my dog and recorded a few thoughts about the concept.

00:47 What is a User Story?
01:28 The Product Manager's Dilemma
01:46 Time-based estimation
02:10 Estimating creative work
03:00 Relative/Points estimation
04:04 Break the habit of time-based estimation
04:29 Jira ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
04:45 Avoid using Story Points to calculate "Velocity"
05:05 Think in terms of SEQUENCE
08:07 Story about a team and their stakeholders
11:00 The lesson learned
