## T-Shirt Sizing
|
|
|
|
"T-shirt sizing" or "T-shirt size estimation"
|
|
is a method of project estimation
|
|
characterized by the use of T-shirt sizes
|
|
representing project scale buckets.
|
|
|
|
> [!example] [T-Shirt Sizing in Agile --- Project Management Pathways](https://www.projectmanagementpathways.com/project-management-articles/tshirt-sizing-in-agile-projects)
|
|
> * **XS (1-2 days):** Simple UI changes or minor bug fixes
|
|
>
|
|
> Example: "Update button color on checkout page"
|
|
>
|
|
> * **S (2-3 days):** Feature enhancements with minimal complexity
|
|
>
|
|
> Example: "Add product sorting by price"
|
|
>
|
|
> * **M (5-7 days):** Features requiring moderate integration
|
|
>
|
|
> Example: "Implement basic search filters"
|
|
>
|
|
> * **L (8-10 days):** Complex features affecting multiple components
|
|
>
|
|
> Example: "Create shopping cart functionality"
|
|
>
|
|
> * **XL (2+ weeks):** Major features requiring breaking down
|
|
>
|
|
> Example: "Implement payment gateway integration"
|
|
|
|
The buckets chosen should be wide enough
|
|
that scale can be confidently estimated
|
|
after minimal investigation.
|
|
|
|
This method, as an ordinal scale
|
|
is criticized as error prone and unhelpful
|
|
in [[how-to-measure-anything-in-project-management]].
