Which value should I add in the Story Point field for User stories

amira bouali

Hi Jira team,

I am a new scrum master and trying to understand the relation between the agreed value in planning pocker technique(per example 40 or 1/2,etc) and the Story point field value in jira User stories/tasks.

Should I add in the Story Point field the value that we acceptd all as a team estimation for a user Story from the pocker cards (per example if the team had been agreed for 13 we write 13 as a Story Point value) or should we add in the story point field an estimation of the work to be done by taking on consideration the choosen card number(per example for 13 card's value=>3days of work).

Thanks a lot for help.

Hi @amira bouali ,

Welcome to the community. 

You should put the estimation you accepted as team there.

The reason to usually use story points is not to use the time estimation for planning.

If you want to track against an time estimation, you should use original and remaining estimation.
