This course covers all the important topics for agile and Scrum planning–from estimating to iteration planning to release planning.

• You’ll leave knowing how to produce fixed-date, fixed-scope, and fixed-price plans you can be confident in, as well as how to avoid anchoring and other common pitfalls.

• You’ll understand how to estimate as quickly as possible with Planning Poker, and both approaches to iteration planning so you can help your team.
• You will learn to answer “When can I get all of these features?” or “How much can I get by June?” from Customers/Stakeholders

Remember, this course is interactive (with short quizzes after each section to keep you on track), and it’s broken into short, quickly watched videos on specific questions you may have.

What you do, and how you do it matters LESS.  The RESULTS you’re able to produce matters “MORE than ever!”

This isn’t a temporary crisis; it is simply the New Norm.
