Estimation Was Replaced by Sizing In The 2020 Scrum Guide!
I am SO VERY happy with the news that the word estimation was replaced by sizing in the 2020 Scrum Guide! This has been a long time coming and it truly does make sense! Estimation forces us into a time-based way of thinking where sizing is more flexible and allow us to have more freedom with regard to relative sizing and forecasting!

STOP Spoon Feeding The Team Micro Level Tasks - Delegate Responsibilities Instead
The benefits of small product backlog items are well understood. Small product backlog items:
are more likely to fit within an iteration
allow team members to work concurrently on a few (but not too many!) items
lead to a more consistent velocity when an item or two is occasionally left unfinished
But these advantages do not come without costs. One problem with small product backlog items is that it's possible for the team to lose sight of why they are doing those items.
