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

  • 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.
