Let's all head to the conference room, so we can discuss the definition of a story point for an hour. I'd also like to talk about why we are behind schedule and our velocity is dipping. Let's make it two hours.

Management where I work finally unbent and admitted that story points were time.

...but also want to continue raising velocity in each sprint.

Dont worry, they are unserious about actual results; they just care about the appearance of results that they can report up. Just start padding extra... Fucking story points...jesus.... To each ticket. Now everyones charts look like their velocity increased. Dont worry, noone is actually measuring results.

That's exactly what we ended up doing. Every story has now become one Fibonacci step higher than it would have been before.
