  <mainDescription>&lt;p>&#xD;
    Prior to release planning and periodically as the product backlog evolves and the team gains insight through experience&#xD;
    the Scrum Team will estimate the size of items on the Product Backlog.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; This is key information to help&#xD;
    the&amp;nbsp;Product Owner make prioritization decisions (some items may become less of a priority if the&amp;nbsp;Product&#xD;
    Owner learns that major effort will be required to deliver them).&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    Estimations are relative and&amp;nbsp;are measured in “points” rather than real-world units of effort.&amp;nbsp; To the&#xD;
    uninitiated this may&amp;nbsp;seem unpredicatable but after the first few sprints Scrum teams can empirically derive&amp;nbsp;a&#xD;
    velocity&amp;nbsp;that allows them to&amp;nbsp;accurately predict delivery capability.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br />&#xD;
