S/M/L is about as good as it gets. I’ve tried using story points but I think the point isn’t to have exact estimates but to figure out if 1) it’s too big for the spring and if so break it down into smaller; 2) is this someone a single person can do or it takes multiple; 3) can I do a couple of these in a single sprint (M) or it’s the only thing (L) or it’s just “5 minutes” (S and usually a day or two because nothing is 5 minutes).
I’m a fan of Taleb, but also a fan of using good maps. Note that Taleb isn’t advocating no maps at all, just that it’s stupid to use the wrong map just because it exists.
I agree that I’d rather have no estimate than a bad estimate, but it’s not like those are the only two options. I want a good estimate or at least a useful estimate over nothing or bad.
