Why It Matters

Different statistical measures tell different stories about your team's estimates. Averages can be skewed by outliers, while median often better represents consensus. Range highlights estimation uncertainty, and mode shows what most team members believe. By providing this complete statistical picture, teams can make more informed decisions about final estimates and better understand the varying perspectives within the group.
