Estimation helps teams prioritize — determining which User Stories to tackle first and which to defer. A User Story with high business value might still be scheduled later if it carries a disproportionately large effort, while a medium-value story requiring little work may be delivered sooner. This cost-performance trade-off is a key driver of prioritization in Agile development.
