Need More Than 3 Story Points
Just checked out Pivotal Tracker. I'm really surprized you limit story point estimates to 1,2 or 3. This really isn't sufficient for points estimating. We use Fibbonacci numbers, usually from 2-13. Anything bigger is probably too big.
I’m happy

Inappropriate?Charles, Tracker has three different point scales. The default is Linear (0,1,2,3), but Tracker also has Powers of Two (0,2,4,8) and Fibonacci (0,1,2,3,5,8) point scales.
You can change the point scale on the Project Settings page. If you have already estimated stories it's non-trivial to change the point scale. There is more than one valid mapping between the various scales, so you'd need to email tracker@pivotallabs.com with the explicit mapping you want and then we will update the project for you.

Inappropriate?Still, Fibonacci only goes up to 8. We often have 13's. Even 40s and 100s . Ok, they are eventually broken down into 5's, but until we do that, we are stuck with leaving it unestimated.
