Unit of work is explicitly vague because it refers to the units you are using in your project, be it user story, requirement, epic, bug etc.

You do not need to know the size of each unit. In fact the method I describe acknowledges that there is variance in the size of each unit.

Some people advocate "same sizing" units of work. I have always thought that was a weird idea because it would imply making small units bigger. How would you make the unit that describes changing the color on a button the same size as integrating with an API? You can't even if you would have perfect knowledge of the amount of work required.
