Meeting where we look at the work which needs doing & figure out how long each task will take to do.
Usually this goes through one layer of translation, with time estimates given not in units of time, but numbers on the fibonacci sequence (for some reason). Recently, someone in the office has decided to add another layer to this by assigning 't-shirt sizes' to each number. Heaven knows why.

Part of Agile/SCRUM goblinry.
Always make a point of noting it's not quite fibonacci when it goes 1,2,3,5,8,13,20,... No-one gets tired of being told that.

I thought the point of 't-shirt' sizing was to get an idea of relative complexity of tasks, with a small but potentially expandable number of steps.
e.g. decide if each thing is S, M, L, XL, then if you find one that is significantly bigger, you might call it XXL, or might decide the task should be broken down into two.
