"Doubled" Sequence
The Doubled sequence represents task estimations using powers of 2, reflecting a doubling of effort and complexity with each step. This sequence is useful for highlighting exponential growth in task difficulty or resource requirements. It's often applied in scenarios where tasks grow in complexity non-linearly, providing a clear progression that aligns with increasing challenges or resources needed.
Cards sequence: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64.
How to Use "Doubled" Sequence in Agile Planning
To utilize the Doubled sequence in Agile planning, team members assess tasks based on their perceived exponential growth in effort or complexity. Each card represents a doubling of the previous value, indicating significant increases in resource requirements or project scope. This method aids in anticipating scaling challenges and ensuring that adequate resources are allocated for each task.
Examples of Tasks Estimated with "Doubled" Sequence
Examples of tasks suitable for estimation using the Doubled sequence include software development tasks requiring extensive system integration or scaling infrastructure. Infrastructure projects such as deploying large-scale cloud solutions or implementing complex network configurations can also benefit from using the Doubled sequence to gauge exponential growth in effort and resource needs.
