> you get "credited" story points for finishing tasks? That sounds completely insane.
Developers' names are attached to stories, and stories have points on them. Why is that insane, and how does your company track who did what?
I propose that the name on the story should be that of the reviewer since they did the work.
We don't really track individual features to people in a way I could call "crediting" - as in nobody really checks afterwards who did how many story points in a sprint.
As long as the team as a whole gets stuff done, everything is good.
Because story points is a tool for the business to know when optimistically a thing could be done. Or more realistically get a decent "no sooner than" estimation of the task.
Using them for anything else, or by anyone else, like scoring the team or like here, individual contributors, is idiotic.
