Agile estimation - why story points are better than using time?

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. 🎥 Video timeline: 0:00 Intro 1:05 What's wrong with time estimation 3:30 Example from non-software world 4:15 Introducing (story) points 7:12 What is "velocity" 8:50 Outro As always, if you have any questions, suggestions or foodback, you can contact me: ✉️ email: [email protected] 🐦 Twitter: @GregoryWitek 🌏 website: https://notonlycode.org Credits: The Kenyan gentleman is Eliud Kipchoge and I took the photo from Wikipedia: By Denis Barthel - Own work, CC BY-SA 4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=72802002 The Mongolian gentleman is Takanoiwa Yoshimori and I took that photo from Wikipedia: By FourTildes - Own work, CC BY-SA 4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=35481836
