Hi Randall, I found your article really helpful. I have been trying to bring scrum in to a team doing mechanical design work, despite having had no scrum experience myself! We consistently struggle with the story point concept - “so how many days is 2 points?” . Having read this I feel that there is value in using the team to chop the work up into similar sized, fairly small chunks, but don’t sweat too much about how many points that is. That will help with sharing out the work, give us useful conversations at stand ups, and show up when something is not completing. Well worth an experiment!
