Mapping Story points against hour Estimation Hi everyone, I have just taken over responsibility as a a scrum master and although i have worked under a scrum team before for a year but i always had difficulty in estimating according to story points. So in my first prokject as a scrum master, I took a risk and though to map story points against hours and it went very well. Here is how i mapped: Points - Hours 1 2-4 3 4-8 5 8-16 7 16-24 9 24+ When i gave them a range the team was very comfortable so what i did estimated it according to the table above and in the end they all had a rough time frame then when and how they are going to complete it. I need to know that if it is feasible in long run? Need very valuable comments on this one :) |
