      Apparently, a dev on the customer side estimated that he’d need two weeks to implement the whole project (which thankfully our customer representative also laughed at).

        That’s not how storypointing works. If the deadline was tomorrow, would it be 1 point?

          i know story points as an estimate of complexity or time it takes to get something done. i was also asked many times to estimate stories with a fixed hard deadline thats laughably close to LocalDateTime.now(), aka Stories where someone allready decided that this must be an easy thing to do without knowing jackshit.

          what are the story points you are talking about?
