Epic Estimation
We use this to ... so that we can ...
This is determined during Commence mode.
Example
There are four sizes from which you and your team will size each Epic as you unpack the work required before delivery:
SMALL Between 1 and 2 sprints
MEDIUM Between 2 and 4 Sprints
LARGE Between 4 and 6 Sprints
X-LARGE Bigger than a quarter
Epic Estimating
Consider the following to build the Delivery Plan for the initiative
Estimate Epics (Effort, complexity and uncertainty)
Prioritise Epics (MoSCOW)
Sequence Epics
Confirm Team Availability
Prepare Delivery Plan
Provide T-Shirt estimates at the Epic level to improve the accuracy of estimates
Provide guidelines to consider Effort, Complexity and Uncertainty when estimating.
T-Shirt estimates feed into quarterly planning
Change the Epic T-Shirt estimates range to:
Small (S): Between 1 and 2 sprints
Medium (M): Between 2 and 4 Sprints
Large (L): Between 4 and 6 Sprints (Recommended to break it into smaller increments)
Extra Large (XL): Bigger than a quarter (Consider breaking it down before planning the quarter)
T-Shirt Relative Estimation
Question Bank and Estimation Technique which can be used as a collaboration tool to discuss Effort, Complexity and Uncertainty. This tool can be used in any way you see fit, and the questions can be customised to suit the project.
