| Context | Product Backlog Items including acceptance criteria are available for estimation. |
| Problem | Estimating requirements based on effort is incomplete and complex. Traditional estimates of project work packages focus solely on mandays and if the project is managed with mature processes, risk is dealt with in a risk register. Complexity of work packages is usually ignored and managing two or three of these dimensions separately leads to continuous rework of the project management plan. |
| Forces | too little/too much effort is spent on estimation too little/too many experts estimate requirements |
| Solution | Create quick estimates including risk and complexity based on the Delphi technique. Estimates based on effort, risk and complexity are usually calculated in Story Points or Estimation Points. Using Planning Poker or the Team Estimation Game with Fibonacci numbers as Estimation Point classes provides for quick estimates while ensuring independent results by each expert. |
| Resulting Context | Product Backlog Item estimates allow the planning of Sprints. |
