Module 8: Planning 1, Monitoring and Adapting

In the dynamic project environment shifting from the traditional Predictive

  • Planning model to more flexible Adaptive Planning model is the need of the hour. Preparing a detailed plan (predictive planning) too far into the future can be wasteful because changes will inevitably happen and they cannot be predicted. Plan can be created with confidence only up to the point where predictability moves into uncertainty. It is safe to plan in detail up to this point, but beyond it you should plan with a decreasing level of detail and precision.

Module 9: Planning 2, Agile Metrics and Estimations

Agile project plan evolves progressively and so does

Of course the epics are the high level user stories and so they are estimated at a high level, with relative complexity measurement usually using qualitative technique. Quantitative technique may not be possible at the high level; even if done it is subject to change because of uncertainty and so it may not be accurate, hence we follow only qualitative technique at the higher levels.
  • Relative sizing
  • Story points
  • Wideband delphi
