Sometimes we change user story scope to complete it during the iteration. For example,Original story (8 points): As a user i want to save my data as PDF.De-Scoped story: As a user i want to save my text data as PDF.Now do i need to decrease the size of the de-scoped story as well? EDITWhat do you do in such cases and why?
If a story is de-scoped during the iteration then what to do with its estimate/size?
scrum;estimation;user story
It depends.When a story is de-scoped for whatever reason, we ask ourselves within the team, Does the complexity of the story remain the same? If the answer is YES, then no change in its estimate. If however, the complexity changes, the estimate varies accordingly. Estimate is directly proportional to complexity :)
