Agile Estimation & Release Planning
2 likes1,132 views
This document outlines the process for estimating project requirements and planning a software release. It discusses estimating story sizes, accounting for variability, determining development capacity, adjusting estimates based on velocity, calculating the number of iterations, creating a timeline, and finalizing resources and contingency plans. The goal is to develop an informed release plan to manage scope, schedule expectations and changes to deliver working software in a sustainable way that keeps customers and the team happy.
