easy · Project Management Professional Adaptive / Agile
Whitlock Software is using 'Planning Poker' to estimate stories for the 'Clinic Flow' project at Dovetail Clinics. A senior developer and a junior developer have widely different estimates (13 vs 2 points).
What should the project manager (acting as Scrum Master) do?
- Facilitate a discussion between the two developers to uncover different assumptions or missing information.
- Adopt the senior developer's estimate, as they have more experience and are likely correct, while documenting the decision in the issue log.
- Escalate the disagreement to the Product Owner to clarify the story's priority.
- Average the two estimates (7.5 points) to save time and move on to the next story.
