Estimation cards - details

So, what are the cards about then?

 

Well, we get the planning team together (the folks that wrote the requirements and the talent that is responsible for leading the team that will write the code) and walk through each of the user stories we developed. Each person in the room as a full set of these estimation cards. We review a story, discuss, and then each person simultaneously holds up the card they think represents the complexity to code/deliver that scenario. If the numbers are wildly different, we continue the discussion and vote again until there's a consensus value.
