Choose the unit that matches your planning method

  • Man-hours suit teams that estimate and schedule effort in time.
  • Story points suit teams that estimate relative size or complexity.
  • Function points suit environments that measure functional scope with a formal counting method.

Note: Keep the unit consistent with the way your team reviews progress and reports capacity. A unit change affects the meaning of estimates, so explain the convention before teams begin entering values.
