The only useful plan is one that's accurate and that gets adopted. Many organizations and individuals view planning as too restrictive or as something that fails to capture and address the vagaries of project work over time.

This 1-day session combines high-level insight and specific tactical thinking to address these issues and more. It will help you create plans that extend out 6 months or more, that drive reliable decision-making and on-time delivery, and that leave teams and organizations feeling supported. Topics will include agile release planning, iteration planning, and various approaches to estimation, such as unit-less points, ideal time, and the popular planning poker technique.

Trainer: Mitch Lacey, Author, Presenter
Mitch is an agile practitioner and trainer, having managed plan-driven and agile projects for the past 12 years.
