  1. How does this technique work with teams split into different functions like a frontend, backend, UI/UX and testing team? A particular user story might be a 2 for the frontend team, but a 5 for the backend team and a 8 for the UI/UX or testing team. So in this case, I don't suppose that everyone will converge on a common figure. So should we run the poker estimation individually by teams and if yes how would be consolidate it to arrive at a story size? Or is there a different approach to solving this?

  2. Thanks Mike. Do we need the size 0 in the cards? If it refers to most simple tasks, then I can drop it from the cards. May I start with 1?

  3. Thanks Mike for this valuable information. I have a doubt , if I want to pick a card say 5 points then does that mean it includes effort for build, unit testing and other testings( like Integration and QA).
    I hope I am clear with my question.

    Thanks !
