Estimates

Estimate an issue

xpo estimate <id> 5

Or set it when creating:

xpo add "Feature" --sp 3

Estimation systems

Configure the scale in .xpo/config.yaml:

estimation_system: fibonacci

The shirt system stores numeric values internally but renders as t-shirt sizes. Both forms work as input — xpo estimate <id> M and xpo estimate <id> 3 are equivalent.

Epic rollup

Parent issues automatically aggregate story points from their children. Configure whether unestimated children count:

count_unestimated: true

When true (the default), unestimated children count as 1 point each. When false, only explicitly estimated children contribute to the total.

Story points drive the velocity and burndown charts on the Dashboard when Cycles are enabled.
