Story Points
Definition: Agile Scrum recommends Story Point as a method to measure the effort needed for a task or user story, instead of traditional time-based metrics such as hours and days estimates.
Explanation of Working: Story Points are relative units to estimate the effort required to complete a user story or task based on the amount of effort needed, complexity of the task, risk involved, and uncertainty. In Agile Scrum, there are several methods to calculate story points. Story points focus on complexity instead of exact duration to complete a task.
