Discussion on: How do you improve ticket estimation?

We groom and estimate tickets as a group. The idea is that anyone on the team could be the one to pick up the ticket, so everyone should come to a consensus on what effort is involved. If people don't agree, it is a great catalyst for discussion and help everyone get on the same page. Those conversations help add additional information to the ticket.

We use Planning Poker in our grooming sessions, I recommend checking it out.

I've never used it, but I've seen it in use by people who are better than me at this stuff. Reminds me of prediction markets, a well studied way to improve estimates.
