Story Points, Target Milestone and ETA
Please put story point and target milestone to EVERY ticket that is assigned to you, starting from V2.0 4/28.
For blockers, please also put ETA in whiteboard, format: [ETA:4/30]
Here is how we go:
- 1 point means approximately 2 working days.
- The story point goes up with Fibonacci Number, please use the following number: 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 (13 is not recommended unless you really have to)
- Put in whiteboard, format: [p=2]. When you first got the ticket & after a quick estimation.
- The efforts shall include "unit test", "getting review+", "landed".
- When closing a ticket, you may make correction to the p to reflect actual efforts.
- p means "the effort you spent", NOT "how long the ticket is closed". For example, you're assigned a ticket on Monday, but you wait and start working on it Thursday and Friday then done, p should put as 1, not 3.
