I think time variability increases with the level of complexity. In this context I see the idea of task complexity being related to uncertainty in the time estimate. This makes it fit nicely with the Fibonacci sequence.
- tsimionescu 2y agoTime variability also increases with the time estimate for a task. If a task is "about two weeks", then it might be 1.5 weeks or it might be 4 weeks. But if a task is about 1 day, it may take 4 hours or 4 days, but it will almost certainly not be 1 month. Points are always just a proxy for time, and work the same way. Not matter what anyone claims, as long as you use points to plan time-abound sprints, points are directly a measure of time.
- brightball 2y agoYep, that's completely accurate. At the same time, that's one of the reasons to prioritize removing as much uncertainty as possible.
