What happens in this story4 scenarios
"That's a two." "That's an eight." The estimation poker turns into a standoff and the real argument isn't about story points — it's about who understands the work and who doesn't.
What started with the estimation fight just got more complicated. Now you need to facilitate estimation conversations that produce consensus, not conflict — and the situation is shifting faster than your first approach can handle.
This is the moment you've been building toward. Advocating for sustainable pace when the culture glorifies overtime — except now the stakes are real and there's no rehearsal. What you do next matters.
You've faced the hardest part. Now turn what you've learned into something sustainable — a way to facilitate estimation conversations that produce consensus, not conflict not just today, but every time this situation returns.
