Yes, but we don't do planning poker. We attribute points on stories in 2 situations: - when we write the specifications for a project, we also create the stories and estimate their points - when planning the sprint, we quickly estimate them The points are useful to us because we roughly know how many points we can handle in a sprint, thus we know what we can commit to do in the sprint. We thought of using "short/medium/high" instead of points, but it's harder to get a feeling of whether we can embed one more story in our sprint. We're not strict on scrum or stuff like that, but estimating properly is still useful when we have a roadmap to stick to. This is how we can know for sure which projects will be removed from the roadmap as the time goes.
