The Problem

Why estimates often fail

The loudest voice shapes the result

Dominant opinions influence the team and distort the estimate.

Too many and too long discussions

Meetings go in circles and decisions take far too long.

One number mixes too many questions

Effort, technical complexity, and risk all end up in the same estimate.

Three Dimensions

One number is not enough.

Instead of forcing everything into Story Points, Consonus separates the three questions that really matter — creating a shared understanding across teams.

  • Shared understanding of estimates across teams
  • Visible differences instead of gut feeling
  • Better and faster decisions

Complexity

How challenging is the implementation?

Effort/Time

How much work and time is realistically needed?

Risk

How uncertain or risky is the implementation?

Workflow

How it works

01

Prepare stories

Import stories from CSV, Jira, or Azure, or create them manually for the next estimation round.

02

Invite your team

Invite your team without requiring participant accounts.

03

Vote anonymously

Everyone rates complexity, effort, and risk independently.

04

Discuss and write back

Spot differences, reach consensus, and write estimates back to Jira or Azure.
