Estimation possibility for Kanban boards

kanaka prasad ponnuru

Hi Team,

I know about scrum projects where estimations are done in story points and we are looking for an estimation possibility for teams that are using Kanban boards with bigger requirements that cannot be compared with story points from scrum teams.

Is there a such possibility?

Thank you!

In Kanban, the card is the estimate - they're all the same size.  People trying to use Kanban within a scaled Agile framework tend to just draw a simple equivalence to the Scrum teams - something like "each card is 3 story points".  (Bear in mind that for this to work, all teams have to be estimating story points the same way, which is quite rare)

You can enable estimates on Kanban boards though - just add the estimate field you want to use to the issues.
