How tasks are evaluated

Question 1

What is the planning poker technique?

Answer 1

It is an Agile estimation technique used by development teams to estimate the effort or complexity of user stories or tasks in a sprint. Purpose:
1. To assign effort estimates (often using story points).
2. To avoid anchoring bias (no one dominates the discussion).
3. To promote discussion and shared understanding of work.
4. To build team consensus on complexity or effort.

Question 2

How do you define story points?

Answer 2

Story points are a unit of measure used in Agile project management to estimate the relative effort, complexity, and uncertainty of completing a user story or task — not time.
