- sounds like complexity is kind of a relative measurement that is going to give an idea how much of effort that we should put into. Isn't it?Jude Niroshan– Jude Niroshan2015-02-18 15:46:21 +00:00Commented Feb 18, 2015 at 15:46
- It is a relative measure, and yes it just gives a rough idea or indication. Complexity isn't exactly the same as effort but they can be equated. Something can be very complex or very simple. Which might mean it is a lot of effort or very little. The two concepts can definitely be equated but they are slightly different.br3w5– br3w52015-02-18 16:47:11 +00:00Commented Feb 18, 2015 at 16:47
- Don't worry about it too much just give the estimate you think fits best. You'll need to explain your thinking but once you've done it a few times with the team you'll get the hang of it. No estimation technique is perfect but I do think story point estimates are better than time estimates.br3w5– br3w52015-02-18 16:49:48 +00:00Commented Feb 18, 2015 at 16:49
- I think this answer illustrates my gripe with story points: they conflate complexity with time. Time and complexity often correlate, but in my opinion there is no causation there. I have worked on some extraordinarily complex requirements that took an hour, and I have worked on week-long mind-numbingly tedious but simply requirements. Sprint poker does not differentiate. I have e.g. 8 days in a sprint. I need to know how much time a requirement takes in order to know if I can cram it into that sprint. Knowing the complexity is fine, but that does not tell me what I need to know.user22815– user228152015-02-18 19:11:54 +00:00Commented Feb 18, 2015 at 19:11
- It does tell you that once you've figured out how much complexity you can fit into 2 weeks - which can definitely change but if you need an indicator and i think it is more accurate than time estimatesbr3w5– br3w52015-02-18 21:17:41 +00:00Commented Feb 18, 2015 at 21:17

How to Edit

- Add related resources or links
- Always respect the author’s intent
- Don’t use edits to reply to the author
How to Format
- create code fences with backticks ` or tildes ~ ```
like so
``` - add language identifier to highlight code ```python
def function(foo):
print(foo)
``` - put returns between paragraphs
- for linebreak add 2 spaces at end
- _italic_ or **bold**
- indent code by 4 spaces
- backtick escapes
`like _so_` - quote by placing > at start of line
- to make links (use https whenever possible) <https://example.com>[example](https://example.com)<a href="https://example.com">example</a>
How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
