Hi! In this video I'm talking about why we use points estimation instead of estimating how much time will features take to implement.
This is something I often need to explain to junior developers and I believe it deserves a few minutes video. Agile software development, while in my opinion strongly overrated and in the past overhyped, became a standard in our industry and whether we want it or not, sooner or later we have to deal with agile estimation, Scrum and other rituals.
