Thanks and interesting. If you have written up your full system anywhere I would be interested to read more.


In terms of mapping story points to time ranges, here's the full list:

1 point -> 2-4 hours

2 points -> 4-8 hours (1 day or less)

3 points -> 1-2 days

5 points -> 3-5 days (up to one week)

8 points -> 5-9 days (up to one two-week sprint[0])

13 points -> 2-3 weeks (1-1.5 sprints)

20 points -> 3-4 weeks (up to two sprints)

40 points -> 1-2 months

Anything beyond 40 needs to be aggressively analyzed broken down into steps, even if those steps are not deliverable features per se.

[0]For a two-week sprint, you have to account for at least one day each sprint for demos, retrospective, and planning. Thus, you have at most 9 days for implementation and testing.

EDIT: Fixed formatting.
