THE HANDOUT
This is your backlog of work to be done
The Agile Estimation Game
by Paul Heidema
Product Backlog for 3 Little Pigs Comic Book
Effort Estimate?
1 As a CHILD I can see the cover page so that we sell more comics
2 As a PARENT I can read the H1N1 PSA so that my child is healthy
3 As a CHILD I can see the wolf dying so that I am happy
4 As a PARENT I can read the moral of the story to my child so that my child is wise
5 As a CHILD I can see the 3rd pig building his house of bricks so that I enjoy the story
6 As a CHILD I can see the 3 pigs leaving mama's house so that I enjoy the story
7 As a PARENT I can read about the 3rd pig learning to build at Home Depot so that I want to buy
building supplies there
8 As a CHILD I can see the wolf failing to blow down the 3rd house so that I enjoy the story
9 Mayor of Piggytown gives award to 3rd pig
THE TEAM
The people at your table 

are the team.	

Agile estimation is done by the team
that does the work.
EFFORT
In this exercise, we are only focusing
on estimating the effort to do the
work.
GOAL
The objective is to practice
estimating effort as a team.
DEFINITION OF	

“DONE-DONE”
This is a list of things that need to be
built-in for the comic book.
INSTRUCTIONS
Need a volunteer from each team
now to be the Product Owner.
All participants get one set of

planning game cards 

(except Product Owner).
Choose the smallest effort item
and give it 2 points.

This is your baseline.
Start at Product Backlog item #1.
1. Product Owner reads an item.
Lightly discuss.
2. Vote secretly, then share
numbers together.
3. The individuals with the highest and
lowest number make

short statements.
4. If required, the Product Owner
quickly clarifies assumptions.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 until you

achieve unity.

(All vote with the same number.)
