In addition to the answer of Lunivore:

Estimation can be done by using the Fibonacci sequence: 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, ...

But the sequence we use most of the time is: 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 20, 40, 100 and ?

0 indicates a user story that doesn't take up any time at all.

0.5 indicates a task that is smaller then the smallest task previously estimated. This often results in changing the previously estimated items to a higher value so the task voted 0.5 gets a value of 1.

20 replaces 21 because the estimation can't be accurate to +/-5%, and 21 seems very precise, whereas a nice round number like 20 seems like what it - an estimate.

bigger than 20 in my opinion, all tasks bigger then 20 should be split up into smaller user stories, as they are too big to be estimated with any accuracy.

? is used when people don't know understand the user story or more info is required

0 is added to have an indicator ofindicates a user story that doesn't take up any time at all.

0.5 is created to have an indicator ofindicates a task that is even smaller then the smallest task that waspreviously estimated before.

20 is replacingreplaces 21 because if your task is allready a big task worth 20the estimation pointscan't be accurate to +/-5%, then the 1 point extra is practicaly unestimatable. so therefor it became 20 instead ofand 21 seems very precise, whereas a nice round number like 20 seems like what it - an estimate.

bigger than 20 in my opinion, all tasks bigger then 20 should be split up in newinto smaller user stories, as they are too big to be estimated correctly

bigger than 100 it doesn't makewith any sence to have story point over 100, the user stories are not estimatable and should be split up before procedingaccuracy.
