Estimating
This estimation method uses relative sizing instead of time.
What are story points?
This technique categorizes work into Must, Should, Could, and Won’t.
What is MoSCoW?
This measures how many story points a team completes per sprint.
What is velocity?
This is when changes are most commonly introduced in Agile.
What is between sprints?
This is a time-boxed activity used to reduce uncertainty.
What is a spike?
This technique prevents anchoring by having everyone reveal estimates at the same time.
What is Planning Poker?
This visual method helps teams pick quick wins first.
What is value vs effort?
This chart shows work remaining over time.
What is a burndown chart?
This determines if a change can be accepted during a sprint.
What is the sprint goal?
This type of risk represents a potential opportunity.
What is positive risk?
This method is best early in a project when little detail is known.
What is T-shirt sizing?
This method prioritizes based on value delivered over time.
What is WSJF?
This measures time from request to delivery.
What is lead time?
This is violated when a team refuses to adapt to feedback.
What is responding to change?
This is the best way to handle high-risk items in Agile.
What is prioritizing them early?
This estimation approach accounts for uncertainty using optimistic, pessimistic, and most likely values.
What is three-point estimation?
This method forces ranking with no ties allowed.
What is stack ranking?
This diagram shows work in different stages to identify bottlenecks.
What is a cumulative flow diagram?
This event allows stakeholders to provide feedback on delivered work.
What is the sprint review?
This reduces risk by delivering small pieces frequently.
What are short iterations?
This is the mistake of assuming story points equal hours.
What is converting story points to time?
This is the mistake of choosing the largest feature first.
What is prioritizing size over value delivery?
This is the mistake of comparing velocity across teams.
What is using velocity as a performance metric?
This is the mistake of thinking Agile means accepting all changes immediately.
What is uncontrolled scope change?
This is the mistake of delaying risky work until later.
What is avoiding risk instead of addressing it?
