Delivery Pipeline Step 3: Size and Plan

Size your backlog relatively, without converting to hours. Pick the smallest story as your unit and compare everything to it. Then set a work-in-progress limit of one or two and hold it.

After three iterations that gap tells you your actual capacity, which no amount of estimating up front would have.
