User stories are short descriptions of features or functionality that provide value to customers. They are written from the customer's perspective and include who needs it, what they want to accomplish, and why it's important. Using user stories increases collaboration and helps determine timeline and effort for each iteration. Stories follow a format of user, action, and purpose. Acceptance criteria define how the team will develop and test each story. Stories are estimated using techniques like t-shirt sizing or planning poker to assign story points based on effort, uncertainty, and complexity. Velocity is the amount of story points a team can complete per iteration and helps correct estimation errors over time.
The document provides guidance on best practices for estimating user stories in agile software development. It describes story estimation as assigning story points to stories based on their complexity relative to a baseline story. The core development team participates in estimation through planning poker sessions facilitated by the Scrum Master. Estimation occurs during regular backlog grooming and sprint planning meetings to size all stories in the backlog and those being considered for the next sprint.
Agile estimation is the process of estimating the effort required to complete tasks in the product backlog. This helps with accurate sprint planning. There are several techniques for agile estimation, including planning poker where team members assign numeric values to tasks, T-shirt sizing where tasks are categorized based on size, and analogy where tasks are estimated based on comparisons to other similar tasks. Other techniques include dot voting, affinity mapping, and various systems using buckets or distributions. Planning poker and T-shirt sizing involve collaboration between team members to determine estimates. Accurate estimation allows for improved sprint management and release prediction.
