Continuation of Agile estimates - Vancouver, Canada
happened 9 years ago
Organised by The Vancouver Adaptive Software Development Meetup Group
The discussion on Oct 25 was a great intro to the challenges of doing (and not doing) estimates in Agile. I didn't find it very helpful though in understanding best practices. I think this would make for a great idea for a future Meetup. The scenario of a business owner needing a quote on a potential, loosely-defined software project in order to determine possible ROI would be a great model for the discussion, IMO.
