What are story points and how do you estimate them?
Teams assign story points relative to work complexity, the amount of work, and risk or uncertainty.

How many story points do you need for a medium story?
Your smallest story might be 1. If your medium story requires 3 times more effort, then it should be 3. If your big story requires 10 times the effort, it should be 10. These numbers will depend on the type of stories your team normally works on, so your baseline story numbers might look different to these.
