Agile Estimating and Planning

Course Details

Project Management Institute logo

Agile planning processes balance the effort and investment in planning with the knowledge that the plan will evolve throughout the project. Agile planning and estimating happens at several levels — release planning, iteration planning, and daily planning. This workshop provides techniques and approaches for project estimation and planning that are consistent with the core principles of agile methods such as Scrum and Extreme Programming (XP).

You will learn how to estimate using story points and ideal days, and how to use techniques such as planning poker. You will learn how to plan and schedule an agile project, and how to monitor performance against the plan. You will apply what you learn in a series of exercises that take you through the agile estimating and planning process.
