- Enter an effort estimate for each task. While it is a good idea to estimate stories in story points and tasks in hours, that isn't possible in Vivify Scrum, so you will have to use story points for task estimates as well. Note that when you associate items with sub-items, the parent item shows how many story points there are in the sub-items along with the estimate for the item. When you make all the sub-items for an item, these numbers should match. If they don't. then change the item or sub-item estimates until they do. The idea is to use the tasks, which are smaller and hence easier to estimate, to improve your estimates for features and so to ensure that you have a reasonable collection of items in the sprint backlog. | - Enter an effort estimate for each task.
