Stephen Forte has just published a new course: Agile Estimation

In agile, you don’t have to estimate and there aren’t any deadlines, right? Wrong! This course will dive into the problem with estimation in projects today, and then show a complete overview of the concept of agile estimation and the notion of re-estimation.

Stephen will teach you about user stories, story points, planning poker , product backlog, team velocity, and how to apply them all to estimation and iterative re-estimation. You will then take an alternative approach and look at using real metrics to limit the guesswork in estimating and still run a team that produces predictably and reliably. The course will round out with a discussion on how to “sell” the concept of Agile Estimation in various environments such as consulting or fixed cost projects. Upon completion of this course you will be able to perform Agile Estimation in your organization. We hope you enjoy the course! Click here to go directly to the table of contents to start learning.
