Exploring a unique approach to estimation Managing Consultant Telstra Purple
THE HISTORY
…using them [story points] to predict “when we’ll be done”
is at best a weak idea
PROBLEMS WITH STORY POINTS

PRINCIPLES OF FORECASTING Reforecast with new information Think probabilistically, not
deterministically
