This seems to me a rather simple and effective way to get to right-sizing… cool stuff!

I like to think about such things, thanks for sharing Maarten. Thinking about what’ll happen in a team with tasks in many different sizes. I saw teams having a good benefit of the flexibility in story points because they were able to use their average velocity (for them! 😊) during the planning to avoid dramatic overcommits.

When such a team has stories within the rage from 2-5 and will replace them with a 1 from your approach, they’ll lose sharpness.

How did you observe the switch on the estimation method in your teams?
