Talk “Discovering story points”

Speaker: Nadia Zemskova

Track: Project Management
Audience Level: Beginners and Practitioners
 

Story points are probably one of the most confusing concepts when it comes to Agile software development and estimation. When people start reading about and practicing Agile methodologies, or sometimes even when they’ve been doing it for a couple of years the question of estimation still remains covered by mystery. I’d like to shed a bit of light on the subject and give the participants an understanding of what the story points are, why Agile practitioners use them and how to apply them in practice. I’ll also show a few pitfalls and typical mistakes people make when they begin working with story points.
