An agile team is determining the effort required for user stories in their product backlog. Which technique should the team use to ensure estimates are made independently and then discussed collectively to utilize the wisdom of the whole group?
Conducting a session where the Product Owner assigns effort estimates.
Applying T-shirt sizing and using the average size of all the estimates from the team members.
Utilizing story points by having the team lead assigning points to each user story.
Using planning poker, where each member privately selects an estimation card and then revealing all estimates together for collective discussion.
Planning poker is a consensus-based technique used in agile methodologies to estimate the size and effort of user stories. It enables each team member to give an estimation independently without being influenced by the others by using cards. After everyone has selected a card, all cards are revealed simultaneously prompting discussion, especially when there are large discrepancies. This helps the team to benefit from the insights of each individual, leading to more accurate sizings.
