Open the wiki page in a new tab, copy the instructions for each part into the section labelled 'Tasks' at the bottom of this issue, and complete each task listed.

Tasks

This is where you will copy instructions from the wiki page for the step you are currently on.

Progress : 90% Done. Completed instructions. Added spreadsheet of examples and images of issues with size labels. Images are blurry! Should I just get rid of them and leave the links?
Note: Have since cropped/resized images to make them readable
Blockers : Under examples, would like to list specific reasons why one is a 5pt or 3pt.
Note: Just asked ChatGPT for some explanations, did some light editing of the answers, but let me know if they work
Availability : 3 Hours this week
ETA : 4-11

Bonnie to review and decide if this info is being merged back into the original spreadsheet. This spreadsheet is linked in the document

Point System Label Examples Table

Progress: Formatting changes to tables /page breaks complete.
Blockers: ChatGPT generated examples of story point usage that Bonnie is to verify
Availability: 3 hours this week
ETA: Assigned tasks on this issue complete

Added examples for each size point label, found issues with up to date formatting

@shraddhasaraf Please do a review.

The guide contains an example chart, but it would be helpful if there was a link to a simplified chart for them to copy from. And that should be linked from section Prerequisites For Using This Guide to Spreadsheet of size lables
- This chart would need to be moved to the same directory as this guide.
- Once the above is added:
  - the reference to this can be removed from the Step 1: Compare to Known Issues section: Point System Label Example Sheet.
  - the text on this page https://github.com/hackforla/product-management/wiki/Size-Labels should get updated to link to the guide instead of having the content on the wiki.

The Gathering Examples with github , must say where to find the GitHub wiki, issues, and project boards for any project
Use the size label doesn't describe about .25 and .5 issue which are technically not a part of fibonacci so probably an explanation of that would be helpful
the table under How to Determine and Apply Correct Size Point Label? is redundant as it is also linked to Point System Label Examples Table which is also mentioned under the same section
