The same features that have allowed our brains to adapt to changing conditions, have also made it very difficult for us to make absolute estimates about time and value.

In this webcast we’ll look at how relative sizing and real world data can greatly improve the precision of the estimates we make.

We’ll look at why agile projects should estimate value as well as time, and explore techniques that will allow us to create useful software as early as possible in a project.

This webcast will be of value to anyone running or working on an agile project.

• Project Managers will learn effective ways of tracking and predicting progress.
• Developers will learn how to avoid being trapped by unrealistic estimates.
• Customers will learn how they can derive the maximum possible value from the project.

Presenter:  David Griffiths (O’Reilly bio) has worked on agile projects since 2004. As an agile coach, he has worked with companies across the United Kingdom and Ireland in banking, telecommunications and transportation.

Useable Data Is INFORMATION

In a world where the words “Big Data” are used almost every day, nearly every team in both large and small companies is tasked with quantifying subjective data to draw objective conclusions.

This has been a hot trend in the world of Talent Acquisition, and can be a challenging endeavor in organizations when teams are already being driven to achieve difficult goals with little to no understanding from managers.

This discussion is focused on the following:

1. What data should you obtain
2. How do you get it (in big or small companies)
3. Why you should get it
4. How to influence that data to make decisions
