Never forget to nurture your backlog. Task storage doesn’t interfere—false. It drags the team’s efficiency down.
Regular collaborative refinements and re-evaluation is the key to success.
Backlog Items Estimation
Estimate complexity instead of time/effort.
Compare; don’t estimate absolute values.
Use sequences for estimation.
Block the influences to avoid biased estimates.
Estimate by the whole team.
Do not estimate:
The entire backlog—only the things on top of it.
Sub-tasks—doesn’t add relevant understanding of items.
Repetitive items with a higher estimate.
Unfinished items from last sprint—re-evaluate in case of big context changes.
