A Fullsix organiza em Portugal a formação:

Agile Estimation and Planning

17 de Setembro de 2008


SOBRE O CURSO

The only useful plan is one that’s accurate and that gets adopted. Many organizations and individuals view planning as too restrictive or as something that fails to capture and address the vagaries of project work over time.

This 1-day session combines high-level insight and specific tactical thinking to address these issues and more. It will help you create plans that extend out 6 months or more, that drive reliable decision-making and on-time delivery, and that leave teams and organizations feeling supported.

Topics will include agile release planning, iteration planning, and various approaches to estimation, such as unit-less points, ideal time, and the popular planning poker technique.

Participants will also learn:

  • Techniques for estimating.
  • When and how to re-estimate.
  • How to estimate size and derive duration.
  • How and when to perform release and iteration planning.
  • Tips for communicating about estimates and plans.

Who should attend this session? It’s for anyone involved in planning or estimating projects, like programmers, project managers, testers, and other members of delivery teams.

The goal is for each audience member to walk away not only with a greater appreciation and understanding of estimating and planning in agile, but also with specific improvements they can implement right away.
