Each time I hear something about breaking down tickets to things that can be done < 1 day you end up with an unorganized pile of tasks, that someone thought must be done in a short amount of time.
Usually this happens in stark contrast to the lack of a prioritized list of (meaningful, valuable) things to do.
- CuriousSkeptic 8y agoI find estimation and size limits to be good QA. It kind of forces you to flesh out unanswered details. So I use it as a tool for that. Not sure estimating tasks adds a lot of value though. But the act of listing them can refine the original estimation, so some value can be had by braking things into tasks before sprint planning I guess. Wouldn’t wast time on it for non-sprint candidates though. But yeah, breaking a backlog down into meaningful, but minimal, issues takes some finesse.
