What it does

Size effort with risk-adjusted T-shirt

Best for

Right-sizing task effort with risk multipliers and uncertainty quantification for sprint planning.

Inputs
  • · feature/task description
  • · scope details
Outputs
  • · effort estimate with risk multiplier
  • · sub-task breakdown
  • · confidence assessment
Preconditions
  • · codebase accessible
  • · relevant documentation present
Failure modes
  • · Code too unfamiliar → request domain context
  • · Scope too vague → decompose interactively
  • · Risk multipliers clash → apply highest only
Trust signals
  • · T-shirt sizes aligned with task mgmt
  • · Risk multipliers per category (1.3x–2x max)
  • · Confidence rating (High/Medium/Low)
  • · Explicit unknowns list (reduces confidence)
