Agile Estimating, Planning and Tracking: Part II

This session continues the discussion from Part I on Agile Estimating, Planning and Tracking focusing on the sprint (or iteration) level rather than the release level. The sprint cycle is the heartbeat of an agile process. Running smoothly and efficiently it drives incredibly productive teams and high-quality solutions. Yet, so often it feels unhealthy and arrhythmic.

This session will provide the characteristics of a heathly sprint heartbeat and demonstrate the key components required to keep it running that way.

This session will discuss many components of a sprint including the sprint planning process, task estimation, task tracking and dependency, daily stand up meetings, demonstration reviews and retrospectives.
