The plot is a key factor. If the animal is going to perform certain actions, its size should be appropriate. For example, if it needs to hide in a small hole, it should be small. Another factor is the emotional impact. A huge animal might create more awe or fear. And the setting matters too. In a small, enclosed world in your story, animals might be smaller on average.
Well, first you need to break down the new user story into its components. Consider the complexity of each task, the uncertainty involved, and the dependencies. For example, if the new story involves integrating with a new API which has some documentation but is still untested in your environment, that adds to the complexity. Also, look at how much data manipulation is required. If it's a simple read and display of data, it might be a low story point. But if it involves complex calculations on large amounts of data, it'll be more. You can then estimate based on your team's past experience with similar tasks. Let's say your team usually assigns 5 story points to a complex data calculation task and this new story has some similar elements but is a bit less complex, you might assign 3 or 4 story points.
Well, one key practice is to clearly define the scope and requirements of the story upfront. That way, both programmers know exactly what needs to be done.
You can use 'ring ring ring ring' as a signal for something exciting in the story. For example, in a story about a wizard's apprentice, the 'ring ring ring ring' could be the sound of a magical alarm that warns of a dragon approaching.
One bedtime story could be about a magical bell that goes 'ring ring ring ring'. The bell is in an enchanted forest and every time it rings, it wakes up the little fairies who then start their day of spreading magic and kindness in the forest.
A pulp fiction kit is usually a collection of items related to pulp fiction literature, such as old magazines, posters, or maybe even some writing tools associated with that style.
To safely size a new user story in terms of story points, start by looking at the user requirements clearly. Determine if there are any dependencies on other stories or external systems. For instance, if the new user story depends on the completion of another story that is still in progress, it may add complexity and increase the story point size. Also, think about the effort involved in terms of development time, testing time, and potential rework. If it's a relatively straightforward development with minimal testing requirements and low risk of rework, it might be sized at a lower value, perhaps 3 or 4.
It could symbolize danger approaching the woman while she is in a vulnerable state like being in bed. Maybe the snake represents an external threat or an inner fear she has.
