Simple Numbers
The Simple Numbers sequence is used to estimate the number of tasks required to complete a project. This sequence helps in planning and allocating resources effectively across various tasks in a project. Each number in the sequence represents a distinct level of effort or duration, facilitating straightforward estimation for tasks of varying complexities.
Cards sequence: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
How to Use Simple Numbers in Agile Planning
To utilize the Simple Numbers sequence in Agile planning, team members assess tasks based on their perceived number of tasks required to complete a project. Cards representing different number values are used to assign estimates to tasks, with larger numbers indicating greater effort or duration. This approach helps teams manage project timelines effectively and allocate resources appropriately.
Examples of Tasks Estimated with Simple Numbers
Examples of tasks suitable for estimation using the Simple Numbers sequence include software development tasks like coding new features or refactoring existing codebases. Project management tasks such as planning sprint cycles or conducting team retrospectives can also benefit from using the Simple Numbers sequence to estimate task investment accurately.
