Story Points
Definition
A unit teams use to estimate the relative effort needed to complete a piece of work, rather than exact hours.
Why it matters
Story points help teams plan realistically by focusing on effort and complexity instead of guessing precise times.
Example
A team gives a simple task 2 story points and a tricky one 8 to compare their effort.
