It sorts work by value, risk, and delivery ability. The result is captured as Acceptance Criteria and a Story Update.When teams want to rate complexity rather than hours, it creates a shared, relative scale. It sorts work by value, risk, and delivery ability. The result is captured as Point Estimates, Reference Stories, and Velocity Data.
