Hi...your videos are some of the most explicit and detailed videos I have come across! So clear and straight to the point. Great job you have done. You also won a subscriber !

Another sensational instructional video, Richard. Thank you! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Hello, Richard. Can you create one video about story points and how to calculate them?. I think this is a very important topic to improve the team's overall performance. Your solutions are the best 👍 .

You have a great way of explanning , Thankyou Richard !

Please create a video on relative estimation. Thanks for the videos you posted. They are all helpful and insightful.

I really love your videos, wish you can upload often especially the jira tutorials. You explain so well. Please can you upload a video on estimation, my team is struggling with this. Thank you Richard 😊

Just learning about Srum Master and Jira - found this channel and it is just great! thanks Richard

You are Awesome. Simple Explanation.

Fantastic stuff

Hi Richard, Thanks for the quality content. Please give us more.

Thank you so much for this inspirational explicit video

Great input. Looking forward for the next video. Keep it up!!!

You are providing valuable content. Thank you richard.

Great going, I am getting few good insights through that series.

Many thanks for sharing your knowledge 😊

PLease create a video on creating sprint plan in JIRA ( maybe ) using Confluence

Nice video. I usually find time based estimations a bit easier. Sometime the dev team may have 3 of 4 developers but only 1 tester. In this case tshirt sizing of small, medium, large etc is tricky considering a story might have an enormous testing effort than development. Would be great if we can have a video for above kind of scenario.

Yes please create the video on story point values.

thankyou really helpful lesson

Hi Richard! Very useful videos. I am looking forward to your video abt velocity - related estimation? Thanks.

Super helpful video!😀

great video! you just gained a new subscriber

Hey Richard, Your videos are awesome. Can we have a video with the most commonly asked interview questions for scrum master ?

Perfect Video

Thank you for one more nice video.

Please make video on estimation plan

very nice explanation, keep it up !

Hi Richard can please create videos for relative estimation, responsibilities of scrum master and what all required functionalities of JIRA are important for scrum master along with this please help with using Confulence

Hi Richard, could you please find create a video about how to utilize the various reports to improve sprints?

Hi, please make a video on relative estimation. Thanks

Hi Richard! Thank you so much for this video. Do you typically assign backlog items to individual team members? How do you decide on who to assign them to considering that a backlog item might require input from more than one development team member?

please create a video on relative estimation. regards.

Thank you for this useful vid. but i have question - if you use 3 recent sprint complteted point to calculate velocity so in those first 3 sprint, how can you estimate number of point you tend to finish in a sprint??

Hey Richard :) what are your thoughts on sprint carryovers? Do you re-estimate the PBIs that were not complete or do you keep the original estimates even if they may be close to finished?

This is a great video! However, help me understand Richard, I have 6 team members, and from above example if I have a velocity of 21 with around 5 user stories being taken, how do I know which team member is working on what User story?, Do we further add subtasks? Ex for US "Login to account" , when there is UI, API and backend changes involved, how do we further divide this 8 story pointing between 3 members? Thanks in advance

Considering the dependencies and risks at this point would sure alter the story point estimations, right? How do you incorporate that into the planning?

Hi Richard, your video is very informative. Hope you can help with this thought here.... Lets assume if I am using Velocity planning, with average velocity is 20 and has the same consistent team size (5) i.e developers 3 and 2 QA's in a two week sprint cadence. Please advise on any guidelines or how would you negate or bring down story points if a developer is on vacation lets say 5 days of a sprint? Thank you so much.

Please consider making videos on estimating

Hey Richard, your videos are great. I found your YT page few minutes ago. I just passed my Scrum Master Exam I am hoping to get job soon. Do you have any tips that can be useful for someone like me? Thank You!

Thank you for this great video. Can you please make a video about relative estimation?

Can you please explain if the breaking down bigger work items/epics to stories and task should happen before the sprint planning session, ie. within product backlog by PMs?

Hello, brother awesome video again, please I want to know what must be contained in the report that is sent to stakeholders is it just sprint report or is any other report added to it. Secondly I want to know all the parties that the report is sent to apart from the stakeholders. I mean do we send to the dev team and the P O?

Hi, thanks for a great video. How do you embed tests within a sprint? Do you use a workflow in which a task is being placed in the "testing" column? Do you take tests into consideration when estimating time for each task?

Hi, when calculating velocity, how to consider spill over stories? should we consider partly done stories in capacity?

Hello, Richard. Thanks for the video. What about the situation (very common in Ukraine), when team consists of QCs, frontend engineers, and backend engineers. So, generated SP doesn't not answeres the question - whether we are fine to move forward with particular amount of SPs, even though it correlates well with team velocity. So, in such cases, we used the approach of estimating in SP separately - FE, BE and QC. But truly speaking, in such cases, I would rather use time-based estimation and refuse from SP. Does it make sense?

@axisagileapps - At 7:00 min. into the video - you mention that PTO/Holidays/Etc. can impact the team size and we need to adjust points for that. Can you please elaborate on the correct way to do that? I am having a major problem in my team right now with disagreements on how to properly calculate and adjust for this. As well as knowing that each previous sprint that we are using for average velocity would have included some resources with time off. Therefore none of the previous sprints are at 100% team size the entire sprint. We were taking the average (say 50 points over last 5 sprints) and we were multiplying by the current sprint team capacity (say 85%) to get our points goal for the sprint = 50*.85= 42.5 points. But the team felt that this would continually decrease our sprint points estimate over time because the velocity we are using for the average is not 100% capacity. So we are essentially taking a reduced capacity velocity over 5 sprints, and reducing the average further each new sprint. So now they want to take each sprint - figure out what the completed points would have been if the team had been at 100% capacity, and then multiple the average of that by the new sprint capacity. For example: spr1: 56/.85=65.8 (this would be the number of points we would have completed at 100% capacity). It's getting really cumbersome to do this and I wanted to know if there is a better way.

I want to know based on what to add story points to each story or task n sub-task, am really confused regarding this point, according to what exactly to set this number of story points

Please correct the following understanding: 1. Product Backlog is created by the PO and the SM 2. Product refinement is performed by PO,SM & team (may include subject matter experts etc) this includes story estimates (hrs or story points etc), priority and sufficient detail - DEEP 3. Sprint Planning by SM & team based on hrs or velocity Questions: Q1. The video does not talk about how much time these items take - should we create a Sprint 0 to do this or should it be included in the Sprint 1 timeline? Q2. What happens to an in completed story within a sprint Q2.1 do you only add Story points to the sprint of completed stories or completed tasks within a story (does Jiri account for task estimates?) Q2.2 do the remaining tasks move back to the product backlog?

Hi Richard, Can we track the capacity to spare in jira? To show that to management if needed so that nobody questions us.

buddy, just want to understand in product backlog as you push stories to main sprint at bottom sum of story points appears, how did you do that.kindly let me know

Hi, your videos are good and effective, but it obviously requires some simple examples as you describe, without examples it is not very clear to understand , thanks

velocity

so its the scrum masters job to input all these info into jira? the epic task description, story points?

Please create a video

Awe man, where is the subtasks video?
