Talk “The fast-tracked storypoint oracle”

Speaker: Sven Roepstorff

Track: Coaching
Audince Level: Practitioners

Many Scrum teams get belly aches thinking of the next estimation meeting. Often it takes a lot of time, becomes tenacious or gets off course. The Scrum Master doesn’t stop technical discussions, the team accepts the line of argument of the (probably) most experienced developer after all, due to timeboxing estimations are done more roughly than necessary in the end and many estimations need to be revised during Sprint Planning anyway.

Sounds boring, frustrating and time wasting, right? Aren’t there other, better ways to estimate?

This workshop provides two fast and simple techniques for estimation: The Team Estimation Game by Steve Bockman and Magic Estimation by Boris Gloger. The audience will be involved actively by estimating User Stories with both techniques.
