Estimate Agile Work with Story Points

About this course

Ready to move beyond flawed, time-based estimates? This beginner-level course, Estimate Agile Work with Story Points, is for any professional on an agile team who wants to build confidence in project planning. You will learn to replace stressful, hour-based guesses with story points—a collaborative, relative measure of effort that captures complexity and uncertainty. Through expert-led videos, real-world case studies from companies like ING Bank, and hands-on practice, you will master the art of relative estimation. You will learn to articulate the value of story points to stakeholders, record them in tools like Jira and Asana, and use your team’s historical data (velocity) to create sprint plans you can actually deliver. By the end of this course, you will have the skills to drive more accurate, predictable, and collaborative planning in any agile environment.
