Abstract
Within an Agile context, applying story points is an acknowledged way to size user stories. Story points are a relative sizing approach that focuses on the scope of work, which is made up of the effort of the work and its complexity. As a readiness activity within the RICH model, it is important to educate team members on the sizing framework you are applying, using Sprint Burndowns to assess progress within a Sprint, and how velocity can help you establish the team pace of work.
