The Product Backlog – Recognizing when a story is at the right level of detail, plus determining story priority, estimating story size, estimating release duration and committing to a schedule to deliver product
Stories, story priority, and story sizing is vital to the Product Backlog, Release Planning, Sprint Planning, and actual delivering of commercial or operational value iteratively and incrementally. When you are sizing your stories, at the Product Backlog level, a story should contain just enough detail for the team to be able to estimate its relative size to other stories. When estimating size of your stories, at the Sprint Backlog level, a story should contain enough detail for the team to be able to determine what the solution involves or what it will take them to deliver the story.
This presentation will cover recognizing when a story is at the right level of detail and demonstrate a technique to prioritize and size your stories. Russell will also discuss a technique to estimate velocity which can then be applied to Sprint 1 planning.
