Agile Approach Traditional Scheduling

individuals and interactions processes and tools

estimating by size - story points estimating by task - duration/work

user stories phases & detailed task list

progress is measured by features delivered in an iteration

progress is measured by tasks accomplished in a specific timeframe

decisions made by team or customerdecisions made by team or project manager

Agile Approach Traditional Schedulingcustomer is flexible and is ready to give up features when needed

customer may or may not be flexible with deliverables

end date is always presented as a range end date is clearly defined

Sponsor or customer is shown results as frequently as possible, sometimes after each iteration

Sponsor or customer is shown results at specific phase ending points

high-level tasks are created by the team and individuals define the specific tasks they will be working on

defined tasks are assigned to individuals

Why (optional)

Story Points

Story points are a measure of size

Is one story larger or smaller than another

Review Your User Stories

As a dog owner, I want the dog to notify me when it needs to go out

As a dog owner, I want the dog to sit when asked

As a dog owner, I don’t want the dog to bite humans

As a dog owner, I want the dog to come when called

Planning Poker

1. Create a scale and generate voting cards for each member

2. One person in the group describes a story (Moderator)

3. Group may ask questions about the story

4. Group votes

5. High and low votes explain their reasoning

6. Group revotes and repeats process above if wide range

7. Moderator eventually helps group settle on a number
