Which assumptions are made in relation to the value?
A bigger impact on trust in the software can be achieved by implementing several improvements in a short period of time than separately over a longer period of time.

This is a guesstimate made by the Review Production Team based on known information about the roadmap item and the capacity of the team at the time of estimation (June 2020).

Medium: 1-2 sprints = 2-4 weeks. Several improvements have already been implemented but we would like set aside some time to identify new stories in this area.
