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