Evaporating Cloud
Purposedifferent
When estimates within the team diverge too much, it puts differing expectations on a common test bench. It separates rough complexity from unspoken assumptions.When many tasks need to be classified quickly, it sorts them by perceived effort and similarity. It reduces the effort of fine-grained estimation for large volumes.The method makes visible why two seemingly incompatible demands arise and which assumption must be tested to resolve the conflict.
