@polotek@social.polotek.net yeah, I'm doubtful that they add anything useful, and they definitely dilute the meaning of an estimate further. A thing that also struck me is that you talk about estimating projects - that seems like a much larger unit of work than I ever had to estimate. Do those typically take on the order of weeks? Months? The projects I've worked on have typically lasted months or years.

@polotek@social.polotek.net story points make no fracking sense. They make sense within the context of a team so long as the team is roughly aligned with how much a point is "worth", arbitrarily. And then of course they loop in contractors and other teams that don't share the same point worthiness and suddenly are surprised when the estimates make no sense.
