Oslo XP Meetup Mars: Agile Estimation and Planning

Mike Cohn is the author of Agile Estimation and Planning, among other books. In March he will be visiting Oslo and tell us a bit about the topic.

Using the techniques in Agile Estimating and Planning, you can stay agile from start to finish, saving time, conserving resources, and accomplishing more. Some possible things you may learn are:

* Why conventional prescriptive planning fails and why agile planning works
* How to estimate feature size using story points and ideal days?and when to use each
* How and when to re-prioritize
* How to prioritize features using both financial and nonfinancial approaches
* How to split large features into smaller, more manageable ones
* How to plan iterations and predict your team's initial rate of progress
* How to schedule projects that have unusually high uncertainty or schedule-related risk
* How to estimate projects that will be worked on by multiple teams

Our thanks go to Programutvikling, who has invited Mike here to give courses in User Stories, Estimation and Planning, and Scrum the Product Owner role.
