One difference I see is that there is no consideration of the size or complexity of a "story" or unit of work. Scrum and Agile dictate that you spend tons of time and effort assigning points and shuffling points around to measure your velocity, etc. etc. This post seems to say, forget about points? As long as these stories represent a finite amount of work, the size of that work doesn't matter when forecasting how many more chunks of work will get done in the future.


Don't I've ever spent more than 10 minutes a week on story points, in over a decade of serious Agile.

If story points are important to your team, you're doing it wrong.
