Agile estimating and planning is one of the most important aspects of agile training. Yes, even in agile software development we must estimate and plan. Although agile is a fluid and iterative process, it doesn’t mean that agile planning doesn’t have a place in the programming and project management.
Despite the many worthless plans that we've all seen—which may make us want to skip planning altogether—this Agile Estimating and Planning Training will demonstrate that it's possible to create accurate project plans useful for programming testing—and projecting forward from 6-9 months. Our Agile Estimating and Planning Training will teach you how to create practical, useful and reliable plans for your software development projects.
If your teams view planning as something to be avoided, or your organization uses plans as something to hold against development teams, this popular Agile estimating and planning course can help your company break both of those attitudes and cycles.
Attendees will leave with a solid understanding and experience of agile planning including release and iteration planning. The course also looks at various approaches to agile estimating including unit-less points and ideal time. The class will present four specific techniques for deriving reliable estimates, including how to use the popular Planning Poker® technique and other techniques that dramatically improve a project's chances of on-time completion.
By using this agile estimating approach to estimating, teams learn to answer the ever-challenging questions that plague every development team: “When will we be done?” and “How soon can we have all of these features?”
