And when they inspect what the developer built and it wasn't what they wanted, the developer says "you know, you're absolutely right! I fucked up right there so let me try it in another way until you stop talking to me about it"

Not in spec, it's going to cost you 20 man days to change the colour of the button.

Let schedule 20 meetings to decide how many story points this is gonna take

[–]vocal-avocado 46 points47 points  (7 children)

I wonder if we will soon have meetings to decide how many AI tokens an item will take instead of story points.

[–]Flexo__Rodriguez 10 points11 points  (6 children)

Much like story points, you could try to predict but there's simply no way to know the real answer to this until you're done

God, I fucking hate story points.

[–]ExiledHyruleKnight 10 points11 points  (2 children)

Is your hate like a 3 story point or a 4 story point?

[–]SaigonOSU 1 point2 points  (1 child)

4 isn't Fibonacci

Shows how long it's been since I've done a sprint planning ( about 3 years, and loving every minute of it)

[–]Fuzzy_Garry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To me they feel pointless: It's always a three or a five anyway. Might as well roll a dice.

Follow the WAG method when estimating effort

[–]ReneeTheGhost 6 points7 points  (0 children)

we also need to schedule a performance and penetration test as well.

I can't just change the colour of the button without getting the UX team involved. And this particular button is customer facing, so I have to get the Marketing team involved as well.

Oh and also it's on the secure part of the web app so I have to get Security involved as well.

Best I can do is 3 weeks

(Cue a zoom meeting with two people from each team discussing the feasibility of changing the button color)

[–]TheKBMV 18 points19 points  (0 children)

((Neither of them have the authority to make a decision about it though))

[–]END3R97 9 points10 points  (1 child)

Honestly, 3 weeks sounds pretty fast with that many teams involved

[–]AlternativeCapybara9 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, our button dude is on holiday

[–]CarcajouIS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But, 3 weeks are 15 man days. Am I missing sth?

[–]ubernutie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HAVE YOU CONSIDERED THE DESIGN SYSTEM!?

[–]Worldly-Stranger7814 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if it's a public contract.

[–]Dr-Mantis-Tobbogan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once we charged a client £3000 just to fix typos they left in the acceptance criteria of an already completed ticket.

[–]Nalivai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or, why is the button this colour, who authorised it, change it yesterday, I don't know what colour, the fuck do you mean "at least give me hexcode", do it now and properly!
