Scrum Estimation
Scrum Estimation is a collaborative technique used in Agile software development to forecast the effort, complexity, or time required to complete user stories or tasks. It involves the Scrum team (developers, product owner, and Scrum master) using methods like Planning Poker or T-shirt sizing to assign relative values, often in story points or ideal days, rather than absolute time estimates. This process helps in sprint planning, prioritization, and tracking team velocity for iterative project management.
Developers should learn Scrum Estimation to improve team collaboration, reduce estimation bias, and enhance predictability in Agile projects. It is crucial during sprint planning sessions to allocate work effectively, manage stakeholder expectations, and adapt to changing requirements. Use cases include estimating backlog items, refining user stories, and optimizing team capacity for continuous delivery in Scrum frameworks.
