Abstract
Predicting The Future - Agile Forecasting
In this session, we are going to look at the differences between estimating and forecasting. We will start looking at examples of sizing work to make sure there aren’t hidden parts and then look at estimation approaches and finally at ways to produce forecasts that let us better predict the future.
If you are looking to create more transparency and drive more efficient software development, this session will give you some good theory as well as simple concrete steps to accomplish your goal.
