Q. Why are programmers bad at estimating time?
The architect might find a simple way to do it – or find that there’s a lot more work than expected. Time estimation is hard. Every programmer has an interval where the estimations are realistic. They overlook the overhead while on the same time any non-trivial task is too large for them to overview.
Q. How story points are calculated?
While estimating story points, we assign a point value to each story. Relative values are more important than the raw values. A story that is assigned 2 story points should be twice as much as a story that is assigned 1 story point. It should also be two-thirds of a story that is estimated 3 story points.
Q. Why use story points vs hours?
Story points give more accurate estimates, they drastically reduce planning time, they more accurately predict release dates, and they help teams improve performance.
