Every team I’ve ever seen converts effort to burn down rate and then into time, because that’s what their bosses care about. Now 50 points per week with a team of five is 10 points per person-week or two points per person-day. So a point is 4 Hours. Next we multiply by the number of points in the backlog and we have our delivery date. If you don’t keep turning out two points per day the project will be late and there’s gonna be a problem. Estimating in points is just what the magician does so you don’t see what he’s really up to.
