Confidence on Estimates

See original GitHub issue

Hey there!

I was thinking it could be nice to add some way to give a confidence level when you vote for an estimate. So like some way to visually show “I’m guessing this is a 3 but I’ve never done this before” vs. “We’ve done this 100 times before, it is a 1”.

I think that could help with facilitating discussions, but I’m not sure exactly how much.

Thoughts? Thanks!

Regarding the UI, you could consider having the confidence picked in a selection before the points them selves. By default you could set it to “neutral” and allow the user to switch to uncertain or very certain.

In the points breakdown you could then perhaps consider exclusion/spotlight of these values (e.g. exclude uncertain). I think this could potentially be very helpful for mixed skill teams (or teams with newcomers).

Hey sorry! Been a crazy couple of weeks for me. What you implemented here looks great to me and makes a lot of sense. Looking forward to trying it out!
