Agile Estimating and Planning

Аннотация

This book could have been called Estimating and Planning Agile Projects. Instead, it's called Agile Estimating and Planning. The difference may appear subtle but it's not. The title makes it clear that the estimating and planning processes must themselves be agile. Without agile estimating and planning, we cannot have agile projects. The book is mostly about planning, which I view as answering the question of “what should we build and by when?” However, to answer questions about planning we must also address questions of estimating (“How big is this?”) and scheduling (“When will this be done?” and “How much can I have by then?”).
