easy · Project Management Professional adaptive

Thornfield Labs is transitionining from predictive to adaptive. The team is worried that story points aren't as 'accurate' as hour-based estimates.

What should the Scrum Master do?

  1. Facilitate a workshop using historical data to show how relative sizing tracks with actual delivery speed.
  2. Mandate the use of story points and explain that accuracy will improve over time.
  3. Tell the team that 'accuracy' is less important than 'velocity' in adaptive projects.
  4. Allow the team to track both hours and points for the next six months to compare them, without revisiting the agreed prioritization criteria.
