    If we follow the agile approach then its dont allow to estimate in hours but when we are pulling down user stories from PBI to Sprint Planning, then how many user stories we have to pull?
    For eg: Team Capacity : 220 hours for 2 week sprint then how many user stories we can take in the sprint planning?

    • @agilecoach

      Do you estimate in story points? How many stories did you do on average per sprint? You can use this amount for the next sprint...

      @@agilecoach My point is that, if we have capacity of 220hrs then how many user stories will cover in the First Sprint? and how we can say like that each user story will take x of hours or like that?

    Hello Coach , For hours , we break down to sub tasks and estimate like average of min to max hours . But then if a slow person picks or if dependency or risks occurs , this the time estimated will not be met :) . Also we cant estimate on the waiting time for external or internal dependencies once its identified.. Answering clients , PO , and Management is always a problem in the Agile World..

    when do you use story point is it means that you don't need track hours?

      Why do you need to track hours?

    I prefer to solve this problem by breaking the user story down into deliverables and using a range of hours to estimate each deliverable, a min-max. The reason is because clients push for a timeline. Clients also don't understand project size or story points as a measurement of how long they should expect to wait until their project is complete. If you provide a min-max for each task and them them up then you solve this problem.

    Really good. But the management and the project managers still insist for day based estimates. How should we convince them to use story points?

    • @taycancan
      @taycancan 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I am afraid it is everywhere like that and moving to another company won't make any difference

    • @agilecoach
      @agilecoach  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You still provide delivery dates but your way of estimating is different. dont think that they really care about your estimation process..

    • @taycancan
      @taycancan 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      In my organization, there is so much resistance from the project manager not to change to story points. Because he thinks he can manage it better by using day based estimates

    • @agilecoach
      @agilecoach  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Great. Does the project manager estimate work or the team? If it's the team, let them decide how they would like to estimate work

    • @taycancan
      @taycancan 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @agilecoach it is the team estimating. But the day estimations are never met. Surprise surprise.

    Probably man/hour is better suited for estimating fine-grain sub-tasks. But a team may not even need to put an estimate for that. So T-shirts and Story Points remain the most versatile units for estimation.

    could you create a video about how to convince stakeholders to estimate the story point instead of hours? Because as I know that many stakeholder always ask How long it will be done?
