Listen "Is Velocity an Effective Tool For Planning?"
Episode Synopsis
Story points—some teams find them useful for having discussions to align their understanding of what a story entails. But the points are not actual quantities of anything. So why are so many teams still using story point velocity to forecast how much they can get done within a sprint? And why are so many people on LinkedIn so adamant about it? We're still trying to figure that out.
