Once you’re happy with the user stories and acceptance criteria, it’s time to estimate the whole Epic.Document acceptance criteria that you have decided is out of scope.Document acceptance criteria that’s in scope (product owner makes the call).Write down any acceptance criteria folks can think of, and group them into User Stories.Examples: specific dishes, groceries, cooking, what else?.Brainstorm user stories that go into this Thanksgiving Dinner Epic.To facilitate doing this quickly, you can use post-it notes (either physical or virtual). We need a product owner to answer questions. First, we need to make sure we’re all on the same page about the scope. Let’s estimate a new Epic for a Thanksgiving Dinner. dinner Roast Beef and popovers with a chocolate tart holiday cards for 200 people, addressed them manually research, bought and wrapped all the gifts These are not strictly Fibonacci numbers because it’s a sum of the actual story points delivered, not the original estimates. Let’s say we have the following actual Story Point counts for completed Epics. Note: the “DRI” (Directly Responsible Individual) should be a specific engineer who will lead the work, and who is primarily responsible for the commitment. This isn’t the same as the initial estimate of those Epics it’s the sum of the story points for all the completed User Stories, once you were actually “Done” with the Epic. Note: If you’ve been estimating User Stories with points, there is a JIRA report for the actual historical story point values of your past completed Epics. Blind voting until we are within 1-hop Fibonacci numbers, then DRI decides.Discuss what’s in/out of scope - simple bulleted lists.Start with historical list of actual user story points spent on previous Epics.Let’s recap Estimating Epic Stories in Three Steps Note: plan to table any extended discussion of the merits of story points that’s not the point of this training Epic Estimation Individuals feel like they failed if a 1-week task takes 2 weeks, but not if a 5 point story ends up taking the equivalent amount of additional time - assuming we still finish it in the sprint.This more accurately models the actual risk of the unknown. Time-based estimates tend to increase incrementally (2 weeks vs 2.5 weeks), story point estimates tend to make big jumps (5 points vs 8 points).There is less ego involved in story points because they are abstract
#NOTEPLAN ROADMAP SOFTWARE#
We’re not going to actually estimate any actual software engineering Epics. Note: This is designed to teach the fundamentals of Epic estimation in a hands-on way, using analogies to real-world events that everyone is likely to be familiar with. We want to limit the time we spend on this estimation.we probably do not yet have product specs, or mocks We don’t know the exact scope of the Epics, i.e.We acknowledge that the estimates are likely to be wrong by up to 50%.For example, these could be the primary projects for a team of engineers for an entire year.
#NOTEPLAN ROADMAP HOW TO#
In this workshop, we are going to learn how to estimate Epic level roadmap items. Estimating Epic Stories in Three Steps.Getting Started Estimating with Story Points.It can help decide what some reasonable commitments are for large, multiple quarter efforts. It’s Thanksgiving themed, because that is the time of year when we are making plans for the next year. I’ve given this Agile planning workshop a few times.
