Thanks Nicole can you talk about spike 🙏

[@BenduBilly]

Thanks for charging. Can you please do a video on SaFe and PI planning. Thanks

[@alvineghomsi562]

This is an awesome and down to ground explanation for newbies 😊. We appreciate you taking the time. Question please: If the team does not get into an agreement using the poker game. What can you ask a scrum master do from there?
Many thanks 🙏🏽

[@Nicky_A]

Are you asking what to do if the team isn't accepting to use the planning poker technique for estimating or if they are using the planning poker but are not agreeing on numbers?

[@bovetmalobaau8099]

Thank you Niky

[@sonnie6633]

Thanks for sharing and great content! How do you breakdown larger user stories with the team or in JIRA?

[@Nicky_A]

The team should be able to split the story themselves or if they want you to they should give you the information on how to split the story. I coach my team to split stories themselves.

[@samanguty1689]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@wahabodusola6484]

Very detailed and informed!
Stay blessed!!

[@rhodaidemudia9876]

Pls can u make a video on capacity planning

[@gaellengateu4762]

Thank you for the brilliant explanation Nicole. It truly helps. A question please: Is there anything like Sprint refinement/grooming? If yes, how different is it from Backlog refinement? Many thanks 😊 🙏

[@Nicky_A]

HI Gaelle, Sprint refinement/grooming or backlog refinement/grooming are the same thing.

[@gaellengateu4762]

@@Nicky_A Thanks a lot for the clarity.

[@s.jasmineupchurch6233]

Do you estimate stories in backlog refinement or planning?

[@yvettembih5415]

Yes, and the estimation is reconfirmed during planning

[@emmanuelasare1249]

hi nicky quick question is capacity planning always necessary ?

[@yvettembih5415]

Yes! This helps guides the Scrum master to make sure team members do not over commit or under commit

[@emmanuelasare1249]
