Agile Estimating and Planning for Scrum

Agile Estimating and Planning techniques have become so widely used as part of Scrum that it would be inappropriate to consider Scrum without also considering these practices. Although many teams utilize these techniques, it would be helpful to understand the basic expectations of them within the Scrum framework. In this one-hour session, we'll focus on the following:

  • user stories
  • relative effort and story points
  • the significance of Planning Poker
  • tracking velocity and planning
