Book Private Training
Agile Estimating and Planning is a flexible, iterative approach used to forecast effort, prioritize work, and ensure continuous value delivery in Agile projects. Learn how to apply this approach to enable predictability, efficiency, and customer-centric development, ensuring teams deliver high-quality, valuable products on time while remaining adaptable to change.
Unlike traditional, fixed planning, Agile estimation focuses on relative sizing (e.g., story points, t-shirt sizing) rather than precise time estimates, allowing teams to account for uncertainty and complexity. Agile planning is adaptive, evolving based on customer feedback, sprint reviews, and changing priorities, ensuring the team remains responsive to business and user needs. Learn how to do Agile planning on multiple levels: product roadmaps define long-term vision, release planning sets high-level goals, and sprint planning breaks work into manageable increments.
