Task Estimation Framework

Why?

In Scrum, the purpose of an estimation is to size the Product Backlog Items (PBI) so that work can be planned, prioritised and delivered within a Sprint. Agile Estimation is just that: an estimate. Not a blood-oath, however, consistency is important and the size is determined through specific metrics.
