Original Estimated outside the sprint

Question

Hello,

Is the original estimate of a story not taken into consideration if the due date is outside the sprint in which it is inserted?

Thank you

Hi @Stefano De Santis,

The due date of your issues has nothing to do with its assignment to a sprint. The original estimate is considered to be part of the sprint if it was already there when the sprint the issues is in, was started.

Any changes to the original estimate you apply to an issue after the sprint it is in was started, will be considered as scope change.

Hope this helps!
