I recall a practice question that mentioned breaking down stories into smaller tasks, and I think that’s part of why it’s hard to explain estimates to others.

I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like the technical details behind each story could confuse people who aren’t part of our team.

I think it might have something to do with how we estimate based on our own team's velocity, which others might not understand.

I remember discussing how story points are subjective and can vary widely between teams, so explaining them to outsiders can be tricky.
