Whose Agile is it Anyway?

November 20, 2020 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm UTC-5

Join us for our November event!

Title:
Welcome to “Whose Agile is it Anyway?” Where the stories are made up and the points do not matter.

Description:
That is right the points are just like t-shirt sizes, only useful if you are buying clothes. The #No Estimates movement would tell us we should not waste time estimating as it alone adds no value to the process or product. It is true that we utterly suck at estimating thanks to planning fallacy mired in a cognitive bias known as the optimism bias.

There are still places where estimating makes sense. In this session, I will share my transition of thinking from “always estimate” to “no estimate needed”. We will talk about how to recognize when a team needs estimating and when a team can avoid estimating. As well as reviewing the pitfalls and traps of estimating in an Agile world. Attendees can expect to walk away with an understanding of how to coach and mentor teams through this transition if #NoEstimates is actually the right way for their teams.
