Define baselines
Pick a reference story for common sizes (e.g., 1, 3, 5 points).
Estimate relatively
Compare new work to baselines; discuss complexity, uncertainty, and effort.
Facilitate sessions
Use planning poker or t-shirt sizes; resolve outliers with evidence.
Calibrate often
Review completed work vs estimates to adjust shared understanding.
