Point Scale-Effort-Story points

Question

Give a brief explanation of Point Scale/Effort/Story points.

Answer 1

Relates to an abstract point system used to discuss the difficulty of the story, without conveying actual hours. The most common scale employed is a rounded Fibonacci series (1,2,3,5,8,13,20,40,100), though some teams employ linear scale (1,2,3,4...), Powers-of-2 (1,2,4,8...), as well as Clothes size (XS, S, L, M, XL).
