Example estimations
Worked examples of the conversations that surface real scope. Not 'login is an 8' — the questions that need to land before anyone votes.
Each page below walks one kind of story through the conversation it actually needs — the questions that get asked, the assumptions that get caught, the failure mode the team should be watching for. None of them give you a number. The point is the prep, not the prediction.
Feature work
Bugs and unknowns
Infrastructure and migrations
Cross-cutting
Research and prototypes
These are companions to the four-phase loop — read one before refinement on a story that matches. The common mistakes page covers what goes wrong inside the session itself; these cover what you should already know before you walk in.
