This book is highly overrated and does not address many of the issues with estimating in an Agile environment. It assumes a very stable team (which is rare after a couple of iterations), it uses story points which is only useful as an "in the moment" approach to sizing and does not allow for historical or cross-project learning, and it fails to take into account any level of quality or rework in the project. Planing poker is not a robust technique and cannot be scaled for any decent sized organization. Overall, this approach to estimating should be ignored.
