Maybe you’ve heard about agile software development projects but aren’t sure if they allow for the detailed planning and estimation your business requires.
You might also worry if your team provides the estimates that management wants, the numbers might come back to haunt you.
Whether you are a manager, programmer, tester, or have another role that involves project planning, what you need to know is how agile estimating works and whether the plan’s result will be something your team and your business can trust.
In this group of presentations, Certified Scrum Trainer Mike Cohn explains how to create useful estimates that teams are comfortable with and management can rely on for decision-making.
