Agile Estimating & Forecasting

New on-line workshop - use the code FIRST to receive a 33% discount

For many team leaders estimating and forecasting work to be done is essential. However, being essential does not make it easy, reputations can be ruined by an inaccurate estimate.

**Paid tickets include a free copy of "Xanpan: team centric agile software development" eBook**

Agile software development introduced story points, burn-down charts and other tools to help improve estimation and forecasting. For some teams these have proved very effective but when used without understanding they are unlikely to prove any more accurate than traditional methods.

This half-day online workshop with acclaimed agile guide Allan Kelly prepares product owners, delivery managers and others to undertake agile estimation and forecasting.

Objective

• You will learn how to make estimates and forecasts using story points on agile teams

• You will know how to improve forecasts, avoid common mistakes and plan for unplanned work

• You will be able to track, read and update progress using burn-down, burn-up and simple cumulative-flow diagram (CFD)

• You will understand the 3 planning horizons & the different forecasting approach to each
