I've been running the informed intuition (or if you prefer, “disciplined intuition”) approach to estimating effort for close to six months now. For the most part, it has gone very well. The primary objective - inspire and support a conversation around the effort needed to complete a story - has definitely been realized. Along the way the process has shifted to better support both the conversation and the team's ability to internalize the process.
