Preparation
- 5 Stories (or more) in varying sizes
- These can be previously completed or new stories
- 1 Needs to be a “medium” 1-2 Days to complete
- 1 Person who knows the stories inside out and can answer questions the "Expert"
- Lucidchart for the exercise. Set up simply. See "Setup".
- https://www.scrumpoker-online.org/en/ - for Story Pointing
Task
- Start with the Medium Story which will fit under 3SP
- Get your “Expert" to walk through and explain why its a 3SP. Make sure they use; Volume, Complexity & Uncertainty
- Place it under 3SP
- Pick the next story. Encourage the team to ask questions to fully understand it. Then Story Point it using the link.
- Once SP is done - Pick on one person to explain why they gave it the SP value
- IF Others SP’d it differently get them to explain too. You might want to SP again after the discussion if SPs were split further than 1 value e.g. 3SP & 8SP (this needs to be SP’d again)
- Rinse and repeat for all stories. Feel free to SP some items again as more relative sizing is known.
