When it comes to agile, there are common myths and misconceptions about estimation.  In the first of this PDU-approved two-part webinar series (which can be viewed independently or together), QSM’s Andy Berner offers corrections to these, such as:

• Why we still need to estimate duration on agile projects
• Why setting expectations based on scope is still important, even as we “embrace change”
• Why you still need to plan for work on requirements, even though it’s not all “upfront”

While some longstanding principles about software estimation still apply, agile methods require some significant changes to how we estimate.  This webinar shows you how to tailor the SLIM estimation tools and methods specifically to an agile development environment to estimate, measure, and analyze your agile software development projects. Andy Berner demonstrates how SLIM fits with the principles of agile development, and discusses what needs to be estimated, how size factors in, and how to accommodate different iteration lengths and types of work.  This will allow you to optimize the choices and plans for the work of your agile teams.
