## What Jamie wrote

This post gets story points all wrong. The author suggests that story points are the same as time, and that is a broken approach. Spring points should be an estimate of complexity. The value of story points comes in making sure that the stories are actually able to be completed, not to estimate the duration of clock time it will take to do them.
