Agile Forum - Agile Estimation and Planning
Have you ever asked yourself how you can improve your ability to plan - knowing how difficult it is to create meaningful estimates? The presentation at this Agile Forum presented an agile approach to planning that provides techniques to estimate the size of work to be delivered. These techniques prioritize the delivery of the highest value items first, and then focus on scheduling the delivery of these items in a sufficient plan. You will discover that planning is not just something that occurs at the start of a project, but is an activity that should continuously be part of the software delivery process.
