Team

• Read thoroughly: Understand the issue requirements

• Ask questions: Clarify unclear requirements

• Discussion First: Have technical discussions before voting

• Consider dependencies: Account for external factors

• Think about complexity: Technical implementation challenges

During Voting:

• Vote independently: Don't reveal estimates early

• Use keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl+[number] for speed

• Stay engaged: Participate in discussions between votes

After Results:

• Discuss variance: Large differences indicate need for more discussion

• Consider context: Previous similar issues and their actual effort

• Document assumptions: Note any assumptions made during estimation

• Uncertainty: Use higher estimates for unclear or complex requirements
