  • In the “right” use case, story points should just represent relative effort.

    The hours dont matter, its more about ranking how challenging a task is, in order to help the manager rank the priority of tasks.

    You should have typically 2~3 metrics:

    1. Points, which represent relative effort of the task to the other tasks you are also ranking.

    2. Value, how much value does doing this task provide, how important is it

    3. Risk, how risky is it that this might break shit though if you make these changes (IE new features typically are low risk since they just add stuff, but if you have to modify old stuff now your risk goes up)

    If you have a good integration testing system automated, Risk can be mostly removed since you can just rely on your testing framework to catch if something is gonna explode.

    Then your manager can use a formula with these values to basically rank a priority order for every ticket you now scored, in order to assess what the next thing is that is best to focus on.







  • Far too often people forget that Right to Free Speech is not your first right, and it is superseded by other human rights above it.

    Your right to Free Speech only applies as long as it doesn’t interfere with other people’s rights to safety and freedom from prejudice, hate, harm, etc…

    It’s not that complicated and yet countless people always fuck something so straightforward up.
