Estimation Game - Cup of Tea
Teams estimate how long they think it will take to make a cup of tea in minutes, the team then shares estimates and explains their reasoning.
The exercise shows that estimating even small familiar tasks the estimates can be broad because everyone makes assumptions, and tea (or coffee) they way they like. Some include brewing time, drinking, others go for the fastest method they know.
The exercise really helps to show teams that estimates can be broad based on assumptions and lack of understanding of actuals even when relatively simple tasks.
Do we have fresh water, kettle, t-bags already? Who is the tea for? How many?
