Steps

1. Estimate Based on Experience:
   Estimate based on how long it took to complete a similar task.

   
   Consider other development tasks for the scenario or quality of service requirement and the integration costs.
   
   Factor in the cost of writing unit tests.

2. Balance Load:
   If the estimate creates more work than can be accomplished in the iteration, work with the project manager to load balance the task or move to another iteration.

3. Refine the Task:
   Examine the development task in the context of the other development tasks for any parts of the scenario or quality of service requirement that are not yet covered by a development task. Create new development tasks to cover these areas.
   
   Assign these new tasks to the appropriate developers.
   
   Work with the project manager to add new development tasks to the iteration plan.

4. Define the Integration Points:
   Work with the other development team members to establish a clear understanding of how this functionality will integrate with other functionality.
