So at our initial estimation meetings we can pick one average story as our <em>Golden Story</em> and give it a number (say 3). And then we compare the other stories to it: simpler might be 1, harder might be 5 or 6.</p> <p>Story points measure relative <em>effort</em>, not hours. They should be roughly linear but stay fuzzy at first. Write the point estimation onto the story. And keep the story brief. Perhaps just a title and a few short notes.</p>
