Hi Kurt, ... Yes, one story point is an ideal day of work for one person. ... Isn't that called "triangulation" and serves a different purpose? According to...
Hi Steve. Thanks for your response. You too seem to support the use of complexity for story points, as opposed to time/effort. We use time/effort for the...
Hi Charles, Your response is very useful. Thank you very much! It seems to me like the main thing we missed was to estimate as a team, driven by the desire to...
Hi Whyves, ... Actually, no, we do not "have to use an objective method". In fact, for almost every product we might be building, there IS NO POSSIBLE...
Hi Daniele, Interesting topic! What is the main reason your team feels you need to emphasize your team's value to the rest of the organisation? When using...
Try to break your stories down further so they're smaller. When you get good at this then your burndowns will burndown from day 1 Hope this helps Jack ...

Hi all Has anyone tried using tasks instead of hours on the vertical axis of their sprint burndown chart? I can see the advantages of not needing to spend the...
Hi Michael, You may wish to look at CMMI "Causal Analysis and Resolution" as another reference. However, I think prevention is the best tactic to avoid...
I have seen teams that have their Sprint Burndown with tasks. I was ScrumMaster on one team that decided to use Story Points on the Sprint Burndown. The...
Hi Russell What value does the team get from using a Sprint Durndown Chart with anything on the y-axis? Re-estimating hours work left every day is just as...
Hi Daniel, I can certainly understand the need to emphasize the value you're delivering as a team. It can be very difficult in a such a component team ...
Hi Russell, I often use tasks on the burn-down. This works nicely for teams that are used to estimate tasks in hours (which I think is a waste of time), but...
Yup I use remaining tasks instead of remaining hours. I agree with you that using remaining hours is rarely accurate. Using remaining tasks also reduces...
If tasking things out at all, and a task looks big and/or vague, I might ask: can you tell me what's involved with doing that? And if they can, then I might...
