A story point is an estimate of the relative complexity of a story.
In GreenHopper, you can choose to perform estimation for each Rapid Board based on either Story Points, hours, or any other numeric field of your choice — see Configuring Estimation and Tracking.
(In GreenHopper, story points are implemented via a custom field called "Story Points" — please see GreenHopper Custom Fields and Database Changes. On the Planning Board, this custom field is used in the Scrum template, or any template you configure, and can be displayed on the 'Card', 'Summary' and 'List' view; to ensure it is available when creating cards, it must be present in the Card Style.)
