Story Points
Also written as Point Estimation
A relative unit teams use to estimate how much effort/complexity a piece of work involves, instead of estimating in hours or days directly.
Think of it like
Like sizing a t-shirt as S/M/L instead of giving an exact inch measurement — rough and relative, not a precise promise.
Junior or senior?
Junior sounds like
Treats story points as a disguised hour estimate.
Senior sounds like
Can explain why points measure relative complexity, not time, and how that distinction actually mattered.
Ask them
“Has your team ever mixed up story points with a time commitment? What went wrong?”
