Tee-Shirt Sizes

To size the amount of effort associated with an issue we use Tee-Shirt sizing. This is an approximate measure and over time we will get better at estimating the effort required for completing as given set of tasks. At the moment the tee-shirt sizing should consider all factors that contribute to completing an issue: time, effort, difficulty.

To help understand how to use Tee-Shirt sizing use the following rule of thumb:

Size Explanation of use
Extra-Small (XS): A relatively simple issue that can completed with ease and take less than an hour of effort.
Small (S): A straight-forward issue that can completed within 1 -2 hours or effort.
Medium (M): A more complicated issue requiring many steps/tasks and maybe coordination between team members. I may take 2 - 4 hours of combined effort.
Large (L): A more complex issue requiring many steps/tasks and coordination between team members. I may take 4 - 8 hours of combined effort.
Extra Large (XL): A chaotic or time-consuming issue spread over may days a needing the collaboration and coordination between team members. I may take 8 - 16 hours of combined effort.
