Estimation

You have the choice of which unit to use issues are being estimated in your plan:

Days
  • Available for plans that use Scrum boards and Kanban boards as issue sources.
  • Ideal for Scrum and Kanban teams that use time-based estimates for their work.


Hours
Story points
  • Only available when all the issue sources of the plan are Scrum boards.
  • Once a Kanban board is associated to a plan, story points are no longer available to use.
  • Ideal for Scrum teams that use story point estimates for their work.

The estimation unit that you choose for your plan impacts the types of teams that you can create in your plan.

  • If you're using days or hours (time-based estimation), you can create both Scrum and Kanban teams in your plan.
    • For Scrum and Kanban teams, the default capacity is set to 200 weekly hours.
    • For Scrum teams, the default iteration length is set to 2 weeks.
  • If you're using story points, you can only create Scrum teams in your plan. The default team velocity is set to 30 story points, and the default iteration length is set to 2 weeks.

See Creating teams for more details.
