Points are a relative value.
If its 10 points a week then you estimate based on the assumption that 2 pts is a days worth of work.
That, coincidentaly, is what ours roughly shakes out to be.
Sounds like the stressed teams were lacking in common sense.
What happens if you underestimate one time? You get a pip. Better to overestimate.
What you need to do is to multiply all costs by ten. That way even if you underestimate one week you are not threatened by this insane metric.
