Scenario 1 There are couple of user stories that depend on technical research. Nobody knows where to start. We can’t even move forward if we don't have a solution. One person tells me: “No, no. Mission impossible.” Another one tells me: “Easy, give me couple of weeks.” Clients and boss keep asking “Hey... man, when can you demo?”

Scenario 1 - Discussion How would you manage this? How do you estimate? How do you record hours spent on research? How do you measure velocity/productivity?

How do you communicate with technical support?
