Can You Stop Using Story Points?
- bradknowles 9y agoIf you decompose all stories to the point where they are all one-point stories, then yes — you can get rid of story points in favor of story counts, because they are one and the same thing. But not all stories can be broken down like that. Having just two stories in a sprint looks seriously imbalanced, unless you know that they are monster stories that you haven’t been able to further decompose. Using just story counts is fine in the grander scheme of things and for longer term planning. However, unless you are rigorous and extremely persistent in always breaking down your stories to the smallest possible units, then I don’t see how you can do efficient tactical sprint planning without using story points.
