Agile Estimating and Planning
About this book
Cohn treats estimation and planning as separate activities at several horizons. Story points and ideal days, planning poker, velocity, and the mathematics of buffering all get detailed treatment, as do release planning, iteration planning, and the reasons traditional estimates fail. Includes chapters on financial prioritisation, splitting user stories, and communicating plans and progress with burndown and burnup charts.
