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

[@agilecoach]

Thanks a lot for watching Kimo. Great suggestion, will do :)

OMG you made the video i requested. Thanks so much

[@agilecoach]

Thanks for the idea!

[@srtnew213]

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

[@ANJEYJOY]

do you estimate QA tasks?

[@4aga]

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

[@agilecoach]

Assign a numerical value to each size. Example: S=1, M=3, L=5, XL=8

[@oliviar267]

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

[@agilecoach]

Thanks for always watching Olivia

[@mnasirkhanctl]

Marvelous explanation!

[@agilecoach]

Thanks a lot man

[@deeptiagarwal146]

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

[@agilecoach]

Use the steps in the video to estimate all the priority user stories..

[@dominic677969]

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

[@agilecoach]

Glad you liked the video Dominic

[@DevTeam-y3j]

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?

[@agilecoach]

Thanks for watching. Can you rephrase your question, I didn't quite get it. 'how you would use product backlog items for estimates instead of t-shirt sized or SP?' T-shirt size, story points etc are units of measure, product backlog items are not..

[@blessedfavored9567]

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

[@agilecoach]

You should estimate all the work required in the sprint to build the potentially shippable increment

[@anonymous6924]

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

[@agilecoach]

If the teams feels that it's necessary then yes. The user stories need to meet the definition of ready

[@anonymous6924]

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?

[@agilecoach]

The priority is defined by the product owner. They can use something like RICE scoring model or MoSCoW prioritization method

[@ANJEYJOY]

do you estimate bugs?

[@agilecoach]

[@anonymous6924]

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😊

[@agilecoach]

The goal is to get the prioritized user stories 'ready' prior to the sprint planning but this is not always possible

[@fighter7509]

I'm a fan coach

[@Mazimo21]

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

[@agilecoach]

Why unpractical?
