Agile Estimation Techniques Comparison
Choose a way to size work.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
Help my team choose an estimation technique. Team experience: [EXPERIENCE]. Type of work: [WORK_TYPE]. Current approach and issues: [CURRENT_APPROACH]. Compare story points, t-shirt sizes, ideal days, and no-estimates approaches in a table covering effort to use, accuracy, risk of misuse, and suitability. Provide a facilitation script for an estimation session and a calibration exercise using reference stories. Explain pitfalls such as converting points to hours and comparing teams. Suggest a four-sprint trial with measures. Present a recommendation based on my answers and say what evidence would change it. Add a short guide on how to introduce the chosen technique to a new team, including a one-hour workshop plan with a calibration exercise, and a list of five questions to evaluate whether estimates are helping planning. Include guidance on what to do when the team argues about numbers, and on using ranges instead of single values. Also add a closing recommendation on how long to try the chosen technique before judging it, and the one measure that matters most.
