Should you measure user stories in hours? It might seem like a natural choice, but equating story points to hours neutralizes the benefits of relative sizing.
It’s common for teams to face challenges when trying to estimate workloads. And the Fibonacci sequence provides a great solution for how to numerically estimate user stories.
If you have a lot of work to get done, or you’re a leader who wants your team to be able to quickly and accurately estimate workload, then this video on using the Fibonacci sequence with story points is for you.
This video will cover:
- What is the Fibonacci Sequence
- How to use the Fibonacci Sequence with Relative Estimation
- Tips and Pitfalls for using the Fibonacci Sequence
- How to not slip back to using hours.
