Agile Estimation and Release Planning
Agile projects are based on small frequent releases, which in turn are based on stories. But how does the team give the business an estimate of what effort is involved, when their requirements consist of a series of one line stories? And how does the team effectively plan the iterations so that the maximum value is achieved without wasting time or effort?
This course been been designed alongside Practices of Agile Teams and Agile Requirements – Stories to be delivered in-house, mixing and matching content from the three courses to provide an individually tailored training solution. If you are interested in running a tailored version of these three Agile courses in-house then please contact us.

- Project managers, senior developers and business analysts involved in release planning or estimation.
- Project team members involved in the estimation and release processes.
- Managers and sponsors of teams who want to participate in and understand the team’s estimates and release plans

- Take the project’s stories (the requirements) and turn them into useful estimates
- Estimate the amount of work a team can complete each iteration (the “velocity”)
- Allocate stories to iterations and a cohesive way to create an initial release plan
- Adapt and plan iterations through the life of the project.
