Wait, is that really how triangulation works?

Seems like a mix of both, but I agree with triangulation.

I thought it was Fibonacci estimation?

I'm with Allene on this one. B) Fibonacci estimation is the textbook answer for estimating story points between known values.

Haha, I bet the person who came up with "Affinity estimation" as an option was just trying to trip us up. Nice try, but B) Fibonacci estimation is the way to go.

A) Affinity estimation? Really? That doesn't sound like it applies to this scenario at all. Clearly, it's B) Fibonacci estimation.

C) Triangulation seems like the right choice here. They're using the known values of large and medium to estimate the story point in the middle.

I think the correct answer is B) Fibonacci estimation. It makes sense to use the Fibonacci sequence when estimating story points between different sizes.

I thought affinity estimation was more about grouping stories, so I'm leaning towards Fibonacci estimation for this one.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about triangulation being used for estimating too.

I'm a bit confused on this one. Is it Fibonacci estimation since they're using numbers from the Fibonacci sequence? Or is it something else? I'll have to review my notes to be sure.

Ah, I remember learning about this! It's called affinity estimation, where you compare the story to known reference points to determine the estimate. Seems straightforward enough.

I think this might be related to Fibonacci estimation since they mentioned assigning a point between two values.

I think it's triangulation. It makes sense to find a middle ground.

That's definitely triangulation!

I practiced a question like this, and I feel like the Fibonacci sequence is definitely involved here.

Okay, let me think this through. They're estimating between two known values, so I think this might be the triangulation method. I'll mark that for now and double-check it.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. I know they're estimating between a large and a medium, but I can't remember the name of that technique. Guess I'll have to think it through.

I'm pretty sure this is Fibonacci estimation, since they're using the Fibonacci sequence to estimate the story points.
