USUALLY I TALK ABOUT

USER EXPERIENCE STRATEGY

BUT TODAY IS ABOUT ESTIMATIONS

WHY

ESTIMATE?

PRECISE ESTIMATIONS HELP TO PLAN TIMINGS, WORKLOAD AND STAFFING

PRECISE ESTIMATIONS ARE NEEDED TO ALLOCATE A BUDGET

PRECISE ESTIMATIONS ARE ALREADY SOME KIND OF RAW CONCEPT

AND

HOW TO?

IT‘S

SIMPLE AS THAT!

1GATHER ALL

INFORMATION

TOOLS & ARTIFACTS FOR GATHERING INFORMATION:

BRIEF, VISION, PERSONAS, SCENARIOS, CUSTOMER JOURNEYS AND MUCH OTHER STUFF. YOU NAME IT.

JUST USE

ANY TOOL YOU LIKE AND YOU‘RE FAMILIAR WITH.

2DEFINE THE

TASKS

GO THROUGH THE ENTIRE PROJECT AND CREATE

HIGH LEVEL TASKS* * ACCORDING TO AGILE NOMENCLATURE I CALL THOSE TASKS EPICS

BREAK THEM DOWN TO MANAGEABLE* ITEMS * IMO IT SHOULD NOT TAKE MORE THAN 5 DAYS PER ITEM, ACCORDING TO AGILE NOMENCLATURE I CALL THOSE ITEMS STORIES

3ESTIMATE THE

STORIES

DEFINE A

COMPLEXITY MEASUREMENT I RECOMMEND SIMPLE, MEDIUM, COMPLEX. AND YES SURE NON ESTIMATABLE.

ASSIGN EFFORT VALUES TO THOSE MEASUREMENTS

GO THROUGH YOUR STORIES AND ESTIMATE THE

COMPLEXITY

YOU‘RE

DONE

ONE LAST

THING

ALWAYS ESTIMATE COLLABORATIVELY
