Story Points

Story Points are a way teams estimate the effort required to complete a specific task or "story" in a project, typically in Agile development. Instead of measuring time directly, teams assign a relative value based on complexity, size, and the work involved. This helps teams plan, compare tasks, and track progress more flexibly, acknowledging that some work is inherently more challenging than others. By focusing on effort rather than hours, Story Points encourage better collaboration and realistic planning without the pressure of fixed timelines.
