This is also why I like estimating tasks using the Fibonacci scale without a direct correlation to time.

In my teams, we generally set 8 points as something that would take an entire day. Every number after that jumps up in relatively large increments as they are more difficult to accurately determine

Interesting take, mind sharing how do you use fibonacci ? Thanks

Not the OP, but one of the teams I'm on uses fib somewhat differently.

Any point with 1-2 is estimated at < 1 day. Some are literally 20 minute fixes, but ... you don't always know that up front, you just generally know it may be pretty small. 2 might sometimes go up to a day.

A 3 is assumed to be a day or two.

A 5 is assumed to be 3-4 days.

An 8 would be 1-2 weeks.

Anything higher is backlogged until it's broken down into smaller segments.

Not sure how well that compares to usages by other teams, but that's one data point for your question.
