Advanced Estimating Q&A

126. Thanks for all your questions about estimating business applications. In this episode, I tackle four tricky situations when it comes to estimating Dynamics 365 and Power Platform applications.

• Should we re-estimate items in our backlog after we’re done because they were easier or harder than originally expected? — Tanika
• If we don’t complete a story by the end of the sprint, should we re-estimate how much work is remaining and split the story points across the sprints in which the work got done? — Jane
• Should we estimate user stories or estimate tasks of the user stories? — Naz
• Should our developers include the time spent in scrum events in their estimates? — Dipesh
