Then you can use Velocity to determine how much work fits into the iteration.<br /><br />If you use calendar time, the amount of available hours can vary between iterations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21080042.post-48013298633972690272009-12-07T19:34:56.185-08:002009-12-07T19:34:56.185-08:00Sonali, As you already know, story points are main...Sonali, As you already know, story points are mainly used to measure the size and is a relative estimate. Cost could be calculated if we can derive the absolute hours from the size. <br />The article: http://bit.ly/6XJuCd talks about the risk involved in deriving cost from the size. <br />At the same time, the link http://bit.ly/6vmxvv provides a way to calculate the cost.Venkatesh Krishnamurthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11471239057569635943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21080042.post-35517141641631333822009-12-07T05:47:16.069-08:002009-12-07T05:47:16.069-08:001.

This is main concern from Product Management that they need to know/project the cost which they are able to do with Effort/Staffmonths but not with story points so Point Estimation is not value add to them ?<br />Any opnions on this ?Sonalihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18019191992982447793noreply@blogger.com
