To Story Point or Not to Story Point? : Benjamin Huser-Berta and Peter Zylka-Greger

Story Points - Are they Helping or Hindering? 🧐

Are they helping us deliver better?

OR are they just fuelling endless debates?

On our first episode of the new season of The Delivery Space podcast, Peter Zylka-Greger and Benjamin Huser-Berta join us to break it down.

Here are some highlights:

👉🏽 The story point debate—is it still relevant or outdated?

👉🏽 How can story points be misused, leading to debates and frustrating planning sessions?

👉🏽 The trap of equating story points to time and money and why this approach can backfire and set your team up for failure

👉🏽 Alternatives to traditional story points that focus on data-driven approaches for more reliable planning. (Check out the links below for The Lighthouse Tool)

👉🏽 How reframing estimating can humanise workspaces to get the best out of teams.
