What is "story point" estimation in Agile, and why might teams prefer it over estimating in hours?

Correct! Well done.

Incorrect.

The correct answer is A) Story points are a relative measure of effort, complexity, and risk for a story; teams may prefer them over hours since they focus on relative sizing rather than precise time predictions, which can be inaccurate and vary between individuals

A

Correct Answer

Story points are a relative measure of effort, complexity, and risk for a story; teams may prefer them over hours since they focus on relative sizing rather than precise time predictions, which can be inaccurate and vary between individuals

Explanation

Story points abstract away individual differences in speed and allow teams to compare relative effort/complexity between stories, often using scales like Fibonacci numbers, which can lead to more consistent estimation over time through team calibration.
