DrupalCon Seattle 2019: Estimating for Iteration: Story Points and Thin Vertical Slices

This talk focuses on using Scrum to effectively manage projects at Four Kitchens, emphasizing the method of breaking down business requirements into vertical slices of functionality known as user stories. The speaker discusses the importance of estimating work using story points, allowing Product Owners, Project Managers, and Stakeholders to make informed prioritization decisions and adapt to changing requirements throughout the product lifecycle. The session also explores how Jira can facilitate this process through features like story points for sprint planning and reports for long-term strategies. Developers and managers are encouraged to participate, as these techniques can enhance project understanding in both Scrum and Kanban frameworks, without necessitating prior knowledge of either methodology.
