Which estimation technique can you use in an Agile delivery approach to size the user stories during sprint planning?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

A is correct because Planning poker is an estimation technique that you can use in an Agile delivery approach to size the user stories during sprint planning. Planning poker is a game where each team member uses a set of cards with numbers that represent the relative effort of a user story. The team members reveal their cards simultaneously and discuss their estimates until they reach a consensus. This technique is based on the concept of story points, which are units of measure for expressing the overall effort required to fully implement a user story. Story points are assigned to user stories based on their complexity, risk, and uncertainty. Verified Reference:

I thought bottom-up was the only way to go, but I'm open to other methods!

Ah yes, I remember learning about this in class. For Agile user story estimation, the team should use a relative effort estimate like story points, not a detailed top-down or bottom-up approach. The key is to estimate as a team, not just have the Scrum Master or Product Owner do it.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I know Agile is all about estimating user stories, but I'm not sure if the "ideal person days" approach is considered Agile or not. I'll have to review my notes on Agile estimation techniques.

Okay, I've got this. In Agile, we use relative estimation with story points, not detailed effort estimates. The team should come up with the story point estimate together, not just the Scrum Master or Product Owner.

I'm pretty sure this is asking about estimation techniques used in Agile, so I'll focus on that. I think the key is to use a relative estimation method like story points rather than a detailed top-down or bottom-up approach.
