Thanks for your support 🙌

Eventually you have convert estimates in hour since iteration/ cadence/ sprint has timebound structure so any underlying activity should have time estimates that they rollup to *period*. The real question is how is complexity interpreted by different dev and managed and hence absolute estimation wins every time

You're a gift! Keep shining ! Would you try to make a video explaining all the project phases using the agile methodology ? Thankful

[jackrhodes]

OMG you made the video i requested. Thanks so much

[jayp]

I can't get enough of your voice and accent, watching all your videos

[oliviar]

Thank you so so much Coach ! This was of high high priority and value 😉

Coach, absolutely brilliant, thank you very much for your clarity and insight. Most excellent, I will recommend you to my wider team of Architects.

Question: Are we supposed to estimate sub tasks, tech debt, and support tickets?

[DevTeam-yj]

Thanks for the video, makes a lot of sense. Can you explain in more detail how you would use product backlog items for estimates instead of t-shirt sized or SP?
Tasks range very much between level of complexity so I understand the points of SP and T-shirt sizes. Are we assuming that we would break the backlog items down into smaller tasks to match the level of average task complexity?

Thanks for this coach. How to calculate acutual amount of work as I feel its necessary to do the capacity planning and commit for sprint backlog. Please advise

Been watching your videos for a while, i got to say that you are my favourite agile youtuber

I'm trying to understand here... Priorities are finalized based on voting?(like people raise their hands or something like that/ any tool is used here) What's the tool used for prioritisation?

[anonymous]

Hi, you said Estimates are added during the sprint planning session and "sometimes" during the refinement sessions.. my question is, refinement session is for adding details and estimates right? Then why "sometimes".. isn't it supposed to be estimated during the PBR?

Just curious... I'm a Business Analyst. We follow waterfall, Just curious. your videos are amazing I just found your page😊

[anonymous]

So, even after splitting the user stories during the refinement session, if required the same can be split again in sprint planning?

[aga]

how do you report sprint wise velocity when teams estimate stories in terms of size ?

[redpill]

i'm a project manager transitioning to the scrum master role, any tips?

Entertaining video and good explanation coach

Great content coach, could you add subtitles please

T-shirt sizes are unpractical for estimation purposes. It is subjective based on each dev skills.
