What it's really about
The situation
The agenda fits in one sentence. The sentence fits in an email. The email would have taken forty seconds to read. Instead: a mandatory round table, eight people, one camera on out of twelve.
Why those numbers
Four story points, one goodie. The +4 against the Remote Elf is the best line on the card: nobody suffers more from a pointless meeting than someone who organised their whole life around not having any. Side effect: one level gone.
How to play it
Easy to close on paper, unless you are remote. Then it is an eight, and the round table gets serious.
Bugs
What you pull from the Tickets pile. Your velocity has to land strictly above their story points — and your friends will inflate them.
