What Are Agile Points?
Agile points are a unit of measure used by agile development teams to estimate the relative size and complexity of work items. This means different things for different teams. At Razroo, we have found keeping points as abstract as possible is the most helpful.
Fibonacci Sequence Points
We use the classic Fibonacci sequence to estimate cards. 1, 2, 3, 5 will be what we can handle inside a sprint. 8's and 10's need more clarity and should be broken into smaller parts.
| Points | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 1 | I have done this before. I know how to do it. Example: Create a Dailog Component. |
| 2 | I have done this before. However, I know it will take time Example: Creating an ngrx/store feature. |
| 3 | I don't really know how to do this. There is uncertainty, but I know where to start. Example: Create a stripe integration with the frontend |
| 5 | It is the first time doing this. We will to get a better understanding of task at hand and research. Example: Create a Github integration api for folder/files |
| >5 | It is a large ticket and needs to be broken down. |
