How is your team's project for monitoring research projects, using points for stories or hourly estimates for each sprint, similar to Agile software development. Management wants us to follow agile process for research and put in hours adding up to 80, for a 2-week sprint. ML modeling or research is very tricky to come up with estimates, due to extra complexities for debugging. Would be great if you share your process for others to learn from, either you work at big tech companies, or unicorns or smaller startups. Thanks!
Urgh agile doesn't use hours. Your manage needs to go check out agile estimates using Fibonacci series
As them to try estimating their hours.
It is doable with Kanban :)
