When do we get Story Points, so I can play F/OSS Planning Poker?

Just kidding, I'd rather gouge my eyes out. <img class="not-responsive emoji" src="https://activitypub.space/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f627.png?v=f187f9278b7" title="😧" />

My point is that, if using Story Points, they should be a team internal value, not an external metric. I do agree they should take complexity and uncertainty into consideration, but again, this needs to be agreed in each team/squad using them. Considerations local to the system and its context are at play here. Also, they are NOT comparable across teams (which managers just LOVE to be able to do). IMHO.

The PM took great pains to tell us story points are unitless and did not have parallels to effort, hours, etc. It was... something.

One story point equals one unit of effort, remember?

(Micro-managers are killing us all…)

I suppose many would find it beneficial.

For me running a smaller project, this stuff is overkill. I wonder if there's a toggle to turn it off.

But with these explicit fields we don’t need the labels anymore and can potentially filter better. Also as I'm maintainer or co-maintainer in several big repos, I like that things get standardized and don’t need anymore custom decisions and setups.
