The Fibonacci Point System
We employ the following point system in our sprints to size feature complexity and estimate velocity. Each point builds upon the previous point’s complexity requirements.
- 1 — Small one line fixes, copy changes, or design tweaks.
- 2 — Small logic changes with potential regressions.
- 3 — Standard feature that often requires tracking and AB testing.
- 5 — Larger features than 3…
