▶️ Starting the Estimation Process

The initial screen you see when accessing Shared Estimations for a Jira issue depends on whether the designated Jira "Story Points" field already contains a value.

Scenario 1: No Existing Estimation - Selecting a Method

If the Jira "Story Points" field is empty and this is the first time you are estimating this issue, you'll see this screen.

This screen presents a dropdown menu allowing you to choose an estimation method.

Some options are Dynamic Methods, meaning estimation methods where you propose your own numerical value instead of selecting from a predefined list. These require additional input when starting the estimation:

• Fist to Five: If you select this method, you will be prompted to enter a proposed value (1-99) for the estimation.
  

  

• Wisdom of the Crowd: If you select this method, you will be prompted to enter four unique numeric values (1-99).
  

  

Once you have selected a method and provided any required input, click the Start button to begin the estimation session.

Scenario 2: Existing Estimation Found

If the Jira "Story Points" field already contains an estimation value, you will see a screen like this:

This screen displays the current estimation. To start a new estimation session, click the Re-estimate button.
