Stakeholders want story-point estimates for a hundred housing-portal ideas before anyone has refined them or discussed meaning with Developers. What should the Product Owner do?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Asking "how big is it?" before "what is it?" is how you get confident numbers about fog. Estimates without a shared picture are decorative. The Product Owner gets the conversation first, then a forecast that might actually mean something.
Full Explanation
Useful size forecasts require shared understanding of the work. Stakeholders requesting estimates before refinement are asking for false precision. The Product Owner should facilitate just-enough conversation with Developers so that any sizing reflects a common meaning. Stakeholder T-shirt sizes are not a Developer forecast, and inventing numbers to lock a budget reintroduces predictive theater.
