How do you estimate effort for Scrum tasks or stories? Effort is typically estimated using relative sizing methods: ✅ Story Points (most common) ✅ Planning Poker (a team-based game using consensus to estimate) ✅ T-shirt sizes (S, M, L, etc., for quick high-level sizing) Story Points consider: ● Complexity ● Amount of work ● Risks or unknowns Example:
login screen might be a 2-point story (simple, well understood). A feature with integrations
nd security considerations may be 8 points due to complexity and risk.
Pro Tip:
void estimating in hours — it introduces false precision. Focus on relative effort, not
duration.
