In the second of the AND: Elevenses series, Kelly Cook, Agile Coach at AND Digital, will explore the challenges Agile teams face in estimating their work remotely and how a simple game and an everyday analogy can help to overcome them.
Estimating remotely is especially difficult when teams haven’t been working together for very long and even more challenging when team members and stakeholders are new to Agile and some of its techniques.
In this session, Kelly will discuss and demonstrate how adding a playful activity into your estimation practice can help teams to understand the real value of it, including:
Why remote estimation can be tricky
How your fruit bowl is an effective analogy for Agile estimating
How you can run this activity with your team remotely
