Explanation/Reference:Explanation:Affinity estimation is a technique used to quickly estimate a large number of User Stories. Using sticky notes or index cards or tape, the team places User Storiedon a wall or other surface, in order from small to large. For this, each team member begins with a subset or User Stories from the overall Prioritized ProductBacklog to place by relative size. This initial placement is done in silence. Once everyone has placed their User Stories on the wall, the team reviews all theplacements and may move User Stories around as appropriate. The second part of the exercise involves discussion. Finally, the Product Owner will indicate somesizing categories on the wall. These categories can be small, medium or large, or they may be numbered using story point values to indicate relative size. The teamwill then move User Stories into these categories as the final step in the process. Some key benefits of this approach are that the process is very transparent,visible to everyone, and is easy to conduct.
