> I did use it to roughly ballpark how many sprints it might take to deliver something, but that was as much story point math as I ever did and never used it to guarantee a date.
This is basically how we use it. Typically, if we have a multi-sprint effort, we'll guarantee delivery in the last or second to last sprint. Anything before that and we're having conversations around scope and trade-offs we need to make to hit targets.
I've had several engineers tell me their 1.5x to 2.0x as effective as their prior roles while having better WLB.
