Как вы оцениваете эффективность использования story points по сравнению с оценкой в часах?

Story points are a relative estimate of the complexity and volume of work, based on the team's experience rather than precise time. They allow for accounting for uncertainty, technical debt, and risks that are difficult to express in hours.

Advantages of story points:

• Focus on complexity rather than time, reducing pressure on developers.
• Better predict the team's velocity and plan sprints.
• Consider different aspects of a task: complexity, volume, uncertainty.

Hour-based estimates are more concrete but often less accurate due to variability in performance and unforeseen factors. They can create a false sense of precision and lead to micromanagement.

Ultimately, story points are more effective for flexible planning and managing expectations, especially in Agile teams. Hour estimates are useful for detailed planning and resource accounting but require regular calibration and analysis of actual time.
