Structured Story Points Calculator
Structured Story Points (SSP) is a practical evolution of traditional story point estimation. Instead of guessing a number or debating between a "3" and a "5," SSP gives teams a shared way to evaluate work using four focused questions.
The calculator helps you evaluate work based on four key factors:
- Effort - How much actual work will this take?
- Complexity - How difficult is the task to reason about?
- Uncertainty - How well do we understand what's being asked?
- Collaboration - Who needs to be involved to get this done?
This method works because it is:
- Fast - Estimation takes minutes, not meetings
- Repeatable - Shared criteria make it easy to calibrate across a team
- Transparent - Everyone knows what's behind the number
- Flexible - Works across product, platform, and devops teams
