I could go on about this all day. Best meme is when you estimate stories for storypoints and then they haggle with you without changing the content of the story. Meanwhile points mean actual time. Then on another side if you haggled down points, you then have more slots for more points. So you end up getting assigned 3x work for the same time. The blame game starts when the sprints elapse lmao

The only ways out of these situations are: a manager that understands what you’re doing; knowing that these “story points” are just indicative and there’s no broken incentive towards gaming them.

Storypoints do not mean "time". Time would be too concrete and measurable and would be bad for selling more agile coachings.
Instead storypoints represent "effort". What does it mean and how can it be used to estimate a shipping date? I was told that I just don't understand.
