Understanding Planning Poker

[@sayedfaiztanvir4733]

Well done!Indeed, a great video to learn and understand. A suggestion: make a practical planning poker session in real team developing software product with POs, BAs, Developers and Scrum Master; purposely to make other understand who it is executed. Nevertheless, I have understood it quiet well, therefore I am contend. Keep posting more video on Scrum related issues.

[@manoharmg6246]

Just one question: What is the use of estimating story points which is not relevant to the efforts or time? We need to look into the efforts or time taken to complete the task by using poker planning. If there is any changes in the time b/w the developers, we can have discuss b/w them until all are agreed on same time.

Consistency over fake accuracy

[@manoharmg6246]

@@AgileDigest Thanks for responding to my message. I didn't get your point. Can you please elaborate on fake accuracy means?

[@AgileDigest]

Estimation of effort with a hope of getting it accurate and end up with big variance

[@amitpujari838]

Hi Niladri, I have one question here. In estimation meeting ,the scrum team is involve like tester ,developer ,BA. So everybody need to give their individual estimation or they need to suggest overall estimation for the story.

[@masterpiece4177]

Hi, I have the same question. Waiting for the answer

[@saleemeee1]

All together shud agree to s common story point

[@AgileDigest]

All engineers including dev test or whoever will work on the user story should participate in planning poker, no one else. Then need to come to a mutual common concent

thank you for sharing.

My pleasure

[@mariaacarvalhoo7980]

Is the number for each story the amount of tasks it will be broken into?

[@mariaacarvalhoo7980]

Or is it the priority of that story?

Sorry, not able to understand the question, can you please explain it?

Who is responsible to write acceptance criteria? Is the team/product owner or any volunteer?

[@AgileDigest]

Product Owner

[@crgrier]

Why do developers get to determine business value? Isn't that the prerogative of the owner?

[@AgileDigest]

exactly

[@jai609]

unclear because testers cannot share story points, only developers can ?

[@AgileDigest]

Tester and coder both are developer.

[@jammerules80]

"Agile Framework"??? Please tell me you are not an Agile Coach.

[@AgileDigest]

Yes Jay, You heard it right. This is controversial topic, many says Agile is a mindset, many says philosophy, many says methodology, and many says framework. Agile primarily is a set of Principles and Values which enables multiple frameworks like Scrum, Kanban etc. during speaking I prefer to say it as a framework. Agile gives your the foundation to enable better software development. do you have some different thoughts ?

[@jammerules80]

Agile Digest Please accept my apologies for my off-colored remarks earlier. I have heard all the definitions of agile that you mentioned above except for it being a framework. I would define Scrum, SAFe or Kanban some forms of agile framework but not agile itself being a framework. To me agile is a style/way of accomplishing things.

[@raves909]

@@AgileDigest Great videos! Your explanation, examples are well crafted other than some repetitions you can avoid. Agile is definitely NOT a Framework most of Agile practitioners know that. It is used very loosely by industry and trainers, I was taught the same in a class and when I referred it as a Framework to answer a question in a Agile group meet, I realized how bad of a mistake it is after a small fraction of the class raised objection to it, followed by heavy debate/research as we were confused as hell! Suggest it is better to avoid using that term in coaching/training as it can plant a wrong definition for folks trying to learn or get acquainted with Agile practices (yes, they are referred to as practices by many Agile experts including Agile and Scrum parent sites). As you stated, Agile is a set of 4 Values and 12 Principles per the Agile Manifesto. Agile Frameworks are - Scrum, Kanban, XP, SAFe, Crystal and FDD

[@smile9439]

@@AgileDigest Agile itself is not a framework, it is the umbrella of many other frameworks (scrum, safe, xp, ...), so it is more a mindset.
