People hate to hate Agile Story Pointing and there are some good reasons.  As an agile coach, I watch and observe the dynamics and atmospheric conditions of the team during various ceremonies including during refinement when story pointing (sizing, estimating, costing) is going on.   I can admit its sometimes painful to watch and I completely understand why people avoid it and want to discontinue it after the first attempt.  I am even going to tell you exactly why it's uncomfortable.  I am also going to offer you some tips on how to soften the negative effects but I'm also going to be honest and say that some of the awkwardness is a necessary evil and par for the course.Connect with The Technology Expresso Coach Jacqueline007 @ https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacqueline007/You can also visit the Technology Expresso Consulting website for more information. https://techexpressoconsulting.com/Also check other podcast (or if you run into trouble playing podcast on this site) at Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/expresso-steam-makers-10-minute-daily-sip-stemulating/id674251164?uo=4Also check out the Agile Daily Team Building Calendar 2022 www.jacqueline-sanders-blackman.com
