I think this is a pretty decent video. Straightforward and easy to understand.

Estimates are 'really bad guesses' are a great takeaway from this video

Do we estimate tasks or estimates? We are planning to have used stories and tasks.

I'm a Japanese company employee and I'm working on promoting Agile within our company. This video was very clear and I would like to put Japanese subtitles on it. Could you change the settings?

Yeah it was was mistake to start relating back to days required, sort of defeated the original objective to distance time from points. Also, keep in mind this is agile estimation is not explicitly described in most frameworks. Estimation in scrum, is not really thing although it's used universally. This makes sense, since all the work is planned by the team in sprint to be completed to deliver the product increment, arguably how big it is kind of redundant and only really comes out of a demand from leadership teams to know how much teams can do.

Although I'm more of a #NoEstimates guy, I did enjoy this video. Good work!

Curious why we tell people not to associate points with time but in the video it says 1 pt may take a day, 3 pts about 2-3 days, 5 pts about a week and 10 pts about 2 weeks. Doesn't that encourage people to associate points with time? I have been trying to get people not to associate points with time and I like the analogies in here until points are associated with time.

Yup, he tried to dance around it at 3:20 and then he fell down right at 3:45 when he didn't define the 1-point story properly (hint: smallest story that adds user value). 1-point is *NOT* "something pretty easy...something that would take a day"

Overall a pretty good video, but really not sure why in the planning poker example you show the team converging on an estimate of '4'? Liable to confuse those using the modified Fibonacci sequence.

One question: Is it okay to reuse your cartoon "the fine art of guessing" on my homepage? Or do you have a source with license for this?

Rather than guesswork, consider COSMIC, which has been shown to relatively uniformly correlate with effort and which you could even use as a framework for adding items to your backlog. I've created a somewhat fun, and somewhat polished relatively quick introduction: kzread.info/dash/bejne/enlq19Nml8i4Z6Q.html

Just a fast rant. Talk slowly and clearly so that people can hear, listen, understand and retain.

2:45 F***... i closed the video...

good video but not using Fibonacci #s. I won't use this because of that

Not a good one...

Agile is alot of bollocks

Useless script
